            Student/Instructor Relationship

1.      Never tire of learning.  A good student can learn

anywhere or anytime.  This is the secret of knowledge.

2.      A good student must be willing to sacrifice for

his/her art and instructor. Many students

feel that their training is a commodity bought with

monthly dues and are unwilling to take

part in demonstrations, teaching, and working

around the do-jang. An instructor can afford to

lose this type of student.

3.      Always set a good example for the lower ranking

students. It is only natural they will attempt to

emulate senior students.

4.      Always be loyal and never criticize the instructor,

TKD or the teaching methods.

5.      If an instructor teaches a technique, practice it

and attempt to utilize it.

6.      Remember that a student’s conduct outside

the do-jang reflects on the art and instructor.

7.      If a student adopts a technique from another

do-jang and the instructor disapproved of it,

the student must discard it immediately or train

at the do jang where the technique was learned.

8.      Never be disrespectful to the instructor.  Though a

student is allowed to disagree with the instructor,

the student must first follow the instruction

and then discuss the matter later.

9.   A student must always be eager to learn and to

ask questions

10. Never betray the instructor.
