I read this article about the 5 Tenets of TKD and realized that my kids do a very good job of living by these. It is one of the great benefits of their journey in the Martial Arts. It does however make me look in the mirror and wonder how good a job I do of following them. Sometimes you can learn from your children. Dad needs a little humility!

It's really sad that this guy writes the article and totaly ignores that the tenets codified this way (drawn from various philosophies) was done by General Choi and even the examples he's using, the Spartans at Thermopylae was General Choi's example.

So much for the second tenet.

Need to add the article author may have been the victim of poor integrity if his sources sanitized the references to who originaly authored those materials.

Some people need to remember what the Tenets are all about, it is funny Instructor teaches the tenets but yet they do not go by them in the real world.

Here is a link to a reprint of a portion of General Choi's work.
