Oaths

A Songahm Taekwondo practicioner must govern its conduct, inside and out of the Dojang, based on five basic principles. These principles are visible on the oaths taken at the begining and ending of each class, in a straight line formation facing the flags (of Portugal, the WTTU and Korea): Cortesy, Integrety, Perseverance, Self Control and Spirit.
