Grandmaster Kim's Notes for December 2008
I often say that Taekwon-Do practice is for the mind, body and spirit. So far this year these webnotes have focued on the mind and body, and occasional mention has been made of fighting spirit or indomitable spirit. However, this month I would like students to think of the human spirit that is expressed through our Taekwon-Do practice.

This human spirit in Taekwon-Do is on display through the common courtesies we all practice, such as bowing or respecting our seniors. It is also evident through more gracious and considerate courtesies, like spending extra time befriending a new student or tutoring a lower-ranking student who needs help with patterns, self-defense, etc. Every day while teaching I see instances of patience and kindness and generosity among my students that speak to me in volumes as great as a perfect technique or a well-executed pattern.

Taekwon-Do is a lot of things to a lot of practitioners, but the elevation and cultivation of the human spirit has always been an important aspect of my practice.
