Never tire of learning. A good student can
learn anywhere, anytime. This is the secret to knowledge.
A good student must be willing to sacrifice
for his art and his instructor. Many students feel that their
training is a commodity bought with monthly dues, and are
unwilling to take part in demonstrations, teaching, and working
around the Dojang. An instructor can afford to lose this type of
student.
Always set a good example for lower ranking
belt students. It is only natural that they will attempt to
emulate senior students.
Always be loyal and never criticize the
instructor, Tae Kwon Do, or the teaching methods.
If an instructor teaches a technique,
practice it and attempt to use it.
Remember that a student’s conduct outside the
Dojang reflects on the art and the instructor.
If a student adopts a technique from another
Dojang and the instructor disapproves of it, the student must
discard that technique immediately or train at the Dojang where
it was learned.
Never be disrespectful of the instructor.
Though a student is allowed to disagree with an instructor, the
student must first follow the instruction and then discus the
matter at a later time alone with the instructor and outside the
hearing of other students.
A student must always be eager to learn and
ask questions.
Never break a trust.
