ITF Taekwon-Do follows the tenets and philosophy of its founder, General Choi Hong Hi. Its philosophy is based on the essential tenets of courtesy, integrity, perseverance, self-control and indomitable spirit. It becomes necessary to apply our tenets and fully exercise them in practice, not as a mere repetition or as a memory habit but rather to adopt a way of living which will tune us with the power that practicing Taekwon-Do provides us. There will be emphasis on patterns and technical perfection.
