Ten Parts of the Student's Responsibility to the Student-Instructor Relationship

  • Never tire of learning. A good student can learn anytime, anywhere. This is the secret of knowledge.
  • A good student must be willing to sacrifice for his art and his instructor. Many students feel that their training is a commodity that is bought with monthly dues and they 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 students. It is only natural that they will attempt to emulate their seniors.
  • Always be loyal and never criticize the instructor, the art of TaeKwon-Do, or the teaching methods.
  • If an instructor teaches a technique, practice it and attempt to use it.
  • Remember that a student's conduct outside the do-jang reflects on the art and his instructor.
  • If a student adopts a technique from another gym and the instructor disapproves of it, the student must discard it immediately or train at the other gym.
  • Never be disrespectful to the instructor. Though a 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 a trust.
