About internal discipline
“Your greatest and most formidable enemy is yourself.” It is therefore essential that you be a winner, especially in self-improvement and self-control. However, this requires mastering the technique of internal discipline.
Remember that the true master of TaeKwonDo is not in competition with others. Rather, it is a competition between yourself and your personal standards.
During TaeKwonDo training, you will learn to be a leader rather than a follower. As a responsible leader, you will gain the natural respect of other responsible self-leaders, because during TaeKwonDo training you will learn to live not only for yourself, but also for others in mutual respect as an essential and functional part of one world.
How you decide to train is crucial to your success. Laziness, lack of inner strength and perseverance is a sign of bad self-respect. “Your greatest and most formidable enemy is yourself.”
