7 Tenets of Dragon Tang Soo Do

Integrity (Sung Shil)

Dragon Tang Soo Do students must strive to be good, honest and noble.

Concentration (Chung Shin Tong Il)

One of the most important aspects of Dragon Tang Soo Do is to focus our minds. The brain can think of many things at once and change thoughts at great speed. The ability to focus on one thing from other fleeting thoughts is concentration.

Perserverance (In Neh)

Dragon Tang Soo Do students can achieve many things with persistent and repeated effort. This path is the only way to reach your final destination - "Your Goal"

Respect and Obedience (Chon Kyung)

This implies a tolerant and sincere effort to understand and appreciate the customs and values of other people. A students ego or pride should be secondary to the order of the instructor, senior and the Dojang (Training Hall) rules.

Self Control (Keuk Ki)

Dragon Tang Soo Do students should not lose prudence, but should discover oneself first and learn to control that self.

Humility (Kyum Son)

Dragon Tang Soo Do training requires manys bows (Kyung Yet). Bowing trains the students in self-respect and humility. Be humble, continue to criticize and correct yourself, not others, then you will achieve your humility.

Indomitable Spirit (Bul Kul Chung Shin)

Life is full of trials, tribulations and chances of failure. However, differences start from the point where you stand up and try again, or simply give up. Dragon Tang Soo Do training incorporates this indomitable and constant determination to succeed. "A winner never quits and a quitter never wins".
