Becoming A Good Tae Kwon-Do Student

1. Never tire of learning. A student must always be eager to learn and ask questions.  A good student can learn anywhere, anytime.  This is the secret of knowledge.

2. 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 fees and are unwilling to take part in any demonstrations, teaching or work around the Dojang.  An Instructor can afford to lose this type of student.

3. Always set a good example to lower ranking students. It is only natural that they will attempt to emulate their seniors.
4. Always be loyal and never criticise the Instructor, Tae Kwon-Do or the teaching methods.

5. When an Instructor teaches a technique, practise it and attempt to utilise it.

6. Remember that a student’s conduct outside the Dojang reflects on the Art and on their Instructor.
7. If a student adopts a technique from another Dojang and the Instructor disapproves of it, the student must discard it immediately, or train in the Dojang where it was being taught.
8. Never be disrespectful to the Instructor; although a student is allowed to disagree with the Instructor, he must first follow the instruction, then discuss the matter later.
9. Always arrive before training is due to start and ensure that you have a good attendance record.

10. Never break a trust.
