Student/Instructor Relationship
- Never tire of learning. A good student can learn anywhere, anytime. This is the secret of knowledge.
- A good student must be willing to sacrifice for his art and instructor. Many students feel that their training is a commodity bought with monthly dues and are unwilling to take part in demonstrations, teaching and work around the Do-Jang. An instructor can afford to lose this kind of student.
- Always set a good example for lower ranking students.
- Always be loyal and never criticize the instructor, Taekwon-Do, or the teaching methods.
- In an instructor teaches a technique, practice and attempt to utilize 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 it immediately or train at the gym where the technique was learned.
- Never be disrespectful to the instructor, although student is allowed to disagree, the student must follow instructions first and discuss the matter later.
- A student must always be eager to learn and ask questions.
- Never betray the instructor.
