Retrieved from the H.M.D. Academy WebsiteTae Kwon Do is harmony: physical, psychological and philosophical exercise brings one's life into accord.
Tae Kwon Do is art: the mind and the body, usually separated in everyday life, work toward their reconciliation, unification, and dynamics.
Tae Kwon Do is aesthetic: the unity of mind allows practitioners to experience the beauty of their unification and to actualize their resulting potential power.
Tae Kwon Do is ethics: our beauty and power, once experienced contribute to a different understanding of ourselves and our existence. This further motivates us to lead harmonious lives with others and to work foe the development of our community.
Tae Kwon Do is universal: it pursues a strong and beautiful self, it strives to understand the objective of life and its trials; it attempts to overcome the yoke of mundane things. As practitioners of Tae Kwon Do, we are in essence, a community of artist, helping each other in the process of realizing our aesthetics and values.
However, in light of these Characteristics, we can reason that the ideals of Tae Kwon Do practitioners are of the authentic person who can live the creative, imaginative life; the strong person who can master, overcome, and surpass all disturbance; and the concerned person who cares about social justice, right, and wrong, and the welfare of others. This is the art of living, and the goal of Tae Kwon Do.
