- Never tire of learning. A good student can learn anywhere, anytime. This is the secret to knowledge.
- A good student must be willing to sacrifice for his art and his instructor. Many students feel that their training is a commodity bought with monthly dues, and are unwilling to take part in demonstrations, teaching, and working around the do-jang. An instructor can afford to lose this type of student.
- Always set a good example for lower ranking belt students. It is only natural that they will attempt to emulate senior students.
- Always be loyal and never criticize the instructor, Tae Kwon Do, or the teaching methods.
- If an instructor teaches a techniques, practice it and attempt to use it.
- Remember that a student’s conduct outside the do-jang reflects on the art and the instructor.
- If a student adopts a technique from another do-jang and the instructor disapproves of it, the student must discard that technique immediately or train at the do-jang where it was learned.
- Never be disrespectful of the instructor. Though a student is allowed to disagree with an instructor, the student must first follow the instruction and then discus the matter at a later time alone with the instructor and outside the hearing of other students.
- A student must always be eager to learn and ask questions.
- Never break a trust.
