Our Philosophy

Our academy's philosophy is encapsulated in our oaths, which are recited at the start and end of each class and event:

The Tiny Tiger Oath

Spoken at the start and end of each class

Raise your right hand, palm forward, and support your right forearm with the back of your left hand.
I promise to be a good person,

Right hand points to your head
To have knowledge in my mind,

Right hand points to your heart
Honesty in my heart,

Both arms up to make muscles
Strength in my body,

Right hand out for a handshake, supported at elbow by back of left hand
To make good friends

Grab the ends of your belt with your hands, and bring them toward the middle
(Instructor: and if you work hard, every day, at everything you do, what will you become?)

Pull outward on your belt ends with both hands once for each word
A black belt, sir!

The Songahm Spirit of Taekwondo

First half (start of class or event) Second half (end of class or event)
Sir (or 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 (or ma'am)!
Sir (or 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 (or ma'am)!
