The Philosophy of Tae Kwon Do
 
"The philosophy of taekwondo is to build a more peaceful world. To accomplish this goal, taekwondo begins with the foundation, the individual. The Art strives to develop the character, personality, and positive moral and ethical traits in each practitioner. It is upon this "foundation" of individuals possessing positive attitudes and characteristics that the "end goal" may be achieved."
