Master Jung’s Philosophy

In each student, I believe in uncovering a harmonic balance between the forces of respect, humility and a healthy moral standard. If balance between these forces is not achieved, disorder and failure is imminent.

The importance of respect could never be emphasized enough, as it’s the key to all healthy relationships in life, including between a Master and student. Respect must also be applied to the individual; if the student doesn’t respect himself first, the ability to respect peers and authority figures is nearly impossible to achieve. This can lead to the student lacking self confidence in himself and others, which often times leads to social exclusion. The foundation principle of respect applies to all aspects of life.

I believe that humility is a very important foundation principle of life, and isn’t easily acquired and must consistently be exercised to improve. Achieving success in TaeKwonDo must not increase self-confidence to a point of developing a feeling of superiority. As students grow in technique and self-confidence, they learn how to demonstrate humility which ultimately leads to further individual growth.

When the student practices respect and demonstrates humility repeatedly I believe the art of TaeKwonDo and the principles of courtesy, integrity, perseverance, self-control, loyalty with an indomitable spirit builds and reinforces a healthy moral standard in each person.
