Tae Kwon Do plays a very important role in my life for many reasons.  

All of my daily pressures, cares, concerns, and worries escape my mind when I enter the Dojang.  

Energy pent up from a day of studying and working is released in an exciting, constructive manner.  

Kicking and punching in a team atmosphere is invigorating and rewarding.  

When my instructor speaks to me, I know there are generations of knowledge and wisdom reinforcing his words.  

Obedience, loyalty, cooperation, self-control, honesty, mercy, persistence, peace, faith, love, compassion, and respect are some of the underpinnings of Tae Kwon Do, which seeks to develop the positive aspects of a person's character.  

Never is Tae Kwon Do used for malice or unjust personal gain.  

During this journey of personal growth, I understand how Tae Kwon Do can serve to fashion a happier, more peaceful world.  

Only in Tae Kwon Do do I find such mental and physical satisfaction
