It is far from the truth that Taekwondo is a fitness designed only for children. The goals of Taekwondo, of gaining insight into oneself and striving for excellence, are universally applicable to all ages. It is a matter of taming the natural human qualities to a higher level, both physically and mentally. Taekwondo is all about profound soul-searching and virtue-finding through physical, mental, and moral training that will make you a better person. Driving your inertia out into the difference necessarily follows a tough challenge.

​

The nature of Taekwondo is based on two fundamental aspects: practical value and ideological value. The practical value of Taekwondo is based on the movement of each technique and the principles controlling this technique. The ideological significance of Taekwondo is based on three ideals that form the idea of Taekwondo: technical, artistic, and philosophical pursuits. Modern Taekwondo is a method of physical education and competitions.

​

Yet, the technique is the starting point and the final goal of practicing Taekwondo. All internal values of Taekwondo emerge from its course; they exist at any stage of technological development due to it. Taekwondo spirit starts from technique, develops within it, and reaches perfection through practice.

​

We serve the ideals of courtesy, integrity, perseverance, self-control, and indomitable spirit as the founding principles to teach to our students. Those ideals are codified as Taekwondo ethical rules, which serve as the basis for developing morals and human dignity with the disciples. A high level of ethics shall be adhered to inside and outside one’s club. When a person reaches a high level of ability to realize relative virtues in everything, they act with efficiency and determination.

​

The qualities gained from practicing Taekwondo can be applied to any aspect of life, from academia to work to social interaction to nurturing. It is our ardent hope that all the practitioners of Maru Taekwondo be the masters of their own lives. We can help you.

​

Thank you very much.
