As martial artists, we are bound not only by our skills and disciplines but by a deeper commitment to the values that define us: Integrity, Concentration, Perseverance, Respect & Obedience, Self-control, Humility, and Indomitable Spirit. These values transcend the boundaries of styles and schools.
In Tang Soo Do, we are taught the importance of community and leadership. But it’s crucial to remember that these lessons aren’t confined within the walls of our dojangs; they resonate across all forms of martial arts. There is no “better” martial art—each discipline offers unique insights and techniques that contribute to our collective growth and understanding.
Let’s celebrate our differences and learn from each other. Let’s support one another as members of a global martial arts family. Our strength lies not in individual prowess but in our unity. As leaders, it’s our duty to cultivate an environment of mutual respect and admiration.
Join us in fostering a community that honors every martial artist. Together, we lead by example and uphold the tenets that make us who we are.
Tang Soo!
