We are a Martial Arts family who share a dedication and passion for Taekwondo as a way of life. The following is the code of ethics that we train, compete and live by:                                          

1) I will give 100% positive effort in             everything I attempt to do.                                                   

2) I will always strive to be honest, loyal,      truthful and morally upright to myself        and everyone I come in contact with.                                     

3) I will always treat my body as a                temple and not pollute it with                     smoking,  alcohol, recreational drugs,

    unhealthy food and drink.

                    

4) I will never be the aggressor but will        defend my self if physically attacked         or threaten.
