The Dojang is a place to learn both Taekwondo techniques and mental discipline. Members of the club play a key role in helping each other to grow both physically and mentally. It is thus critically important that members of the club show respect for each other. Members of the club should take pride in how they conduct themselves both while in the Dojang also in their normal daily activities.
