What Is Tae Kwon Do?

Tae Kwon Do mysteriously originated nearly 1350 years ago in Korea when it was divided into three kingdoms: Silla, Koguryo, and Baek Je. Silla. Tae Kwon Do was developed to defend Baek Je. Silla, the smallest of the kingdoms from it's northern and western neighbor. Under the kingdom's army general, General Kim Yu-Sin, the soldiers were not only trained in the arts of swords, spears, bows and hooks, but also mentally and physically, using hands and feet and minds.

Translated, the term Tae Kwon Do, means "The way of the hands and the feet." Initially Tae Kwon Do was based upon five points of code and conduct:

- Be loyal to your king
- Be loyal to your parents
- Be honorable to your friends
- Never retreat in battle
- Make a just kill

Over time, these five points of conduct where to be changed to better mold the modern society. Although Tae Kwon Do still stresses on it’s ancient foundations of mental and physical disciplines, all Tae Kwon Do disciples are required to follow the following codes of conduct:

- Courtesy
- Integrity
- Perseverance
- Self-Control
- Unbreakable Spirit
