When a student enters a Songahm Taekwondo
classroom, the focus of his or her training is
not only on physical strength and growth, but
also on important skills that will help lead to
personal successes in life.

 

These Life Skills will benefit our students in the classroom and beyond. After all, a healthy
individual is characterized by a strong body and
a strong mind so that you can attack any curve
ball life throws your way.

 

Each life skill taught through STAT's curriculum is based
on The Songahm Spirit of Taekwondo oath, a promise each student makes at the beginning and end of each Songahm Taekwondo event to prepare them for what lies ahead.

At the beginning of each event the oath is as follows:

 

"Sir/Ma'am,

I shall practice in the spirit of Taekwondo;

with courtesy for fellow students,

loyalty for my instructor and

respect for my juniors and seniors, sir/ma'am"

At the end of the event, the promise is targeted more for behavior outside of the do-jahng:

 

"Sir/Ma'am,

I shall live with perseverance in the spirit of Taekwondo;

having honor for others,

integrity for myself and

self control in my actions,

sir/ma'am"

By promising to live by these monthly Life Skills, our students are dedicating themselves to a life of success!
