OLYMPICS Taekwondo
Rumours
I've
heard from some volunteers at the Taekwondo, that the official
padding and equipment provided by Addidas will have some form
of Olympic badging. If this is to be the case, those pads are
going to be quite rare. I wonder if there will any pads left
after the competition? Don't we all want souvenirs? it
decent coverage.
What to
the Taekwondo Tenets mean?
http://www.superiorkarate.com/
has a small poem written by a student about the tenets of
Taekwondo. Hmmm vaguely remember one of my students...cough...Mal...cough
was going to do an article on the tenets of Taekwondo. Anyway
here is a small copy of the poem, you can get the rest from
superiorkarate or from our page Words of Wisdom.
COURTESY
is giving a bow,
to Black Belts and teachers who show you how.
It's doing your chores before you are asked,
and being helpful in every class.
It's simple words like thank you and please,
and never -- no never to hurt or to tease.
INTEGRITY
is the simple rule
of being honest at home and at school.
It's never cheating when taking a test,
or thinking you're better than all the rest.
To lie or to steal just wouldn't be right,
so try to be honest with all of your might.
