TAEKWON-DO OATH   I shall always be loyal to my country. Sacrifice to fulfill my duty to my country and my people. This is the spirit of Hwa Rang. I shall always cooperate with other black belts. Hold together with cooperation and concord. I shall always be respectful to my elders. Protect the rights of the weak with courtesy and modesty. I shall always be faithful to my teacher. Learn the truth through practice of duty, loyalty and perfection. I shall always be faithful to friends. Honor friendship and be peaceful and happy with harmony and faith toward all mankind. I shall face combat only in justice and with honor. Be able to distinguish between good and bad with fairness and rightfulness. I shall never retreat in battle. Sacrifice for justice with capability and bravery. I shall always finish what I start. Move to action with sureness and with hope.
