"The taekwon-do student oath is significant for more than its words of beauty and inspiration. It represents the heart and soul of the art and its philosophy. The goal of taekwon-do practitioners is to love, care for and protect one another. In understanding this philosophy, a student is expected to adopt values of the highest integrity. The oath serves to establish these principles. Not only are they the rules of the organisation, but the code of ethics that constitute how we live, treat others and care for ourselves. Throughout our lives, we should always aim to uphold the integrity of these values"
