Tae kwon do teaches discipline and respect. It is important that the student understand that what S/he is learning, the techniques that s/he will do, create devastating force and that they must be used only as a matter of self defense. According to the law, an individual is only allowed to use equal force against an attacker; however, s/he has every right to defend him/herself or someone else as the law allows. Tae kwon do can be used legally in most self defense situations, but should not be used in other than a defensive manner. If a student misuses the art, s/he is subject to immediate dismissal with no reimbursements of monthly fees paid.
Training in Tae kwon do emphasizes concentration and dedication to reach the highest standards that an individual can obtain. What children gain from Tae kwon do are the qualities and attitudes that are the very foundation of responsible, successful adulthood.
