Spirit of Taekwondo
| Self-Control is to take charge of my behavior. |
- I limit how much junk food I eat.
- I don’t blame others if I make a mistake.
- I try not to yell when I get upset.
- I stop and think before I act.
- I am gracious to my opponent in competitions whether I win or lose.
- I walk away to cool off if my brothers or sister makes me angry.
- I don’t’ lose my temper when I don’t catch onto something right away.
- I wait for the teacher to finish talking before asking for help.
Make your own examples of how you control yourself.
