Spirit of Taekwondo

 Cooperation is to achieve more together.
  • I enjoy being part of a team.
  • I listen to other people’s ideas.
  • I am willing to admit my mistakes.
  • I wait my turn in line when getting a drink.
  • I apologize if I hurt someone’s feelings.
  • I am quiet whenever the teacher is speaking.
  • I am careful whenever I work with a partner.
  • I share my things with my brothers and sisters.
  • I line up quickly at the beginning of Taekwondo class.
  • I wait quietly in the lobby when another class is practicing.

Make your own examples of how you cooperate with others to achieve more together.
