0Student Responsibility – the ten parts of the student’s responsibility to
the student – instructor relationship
1. Never tire of learning. A good student can learn anytime, anywhere. This is the secret of knowledge.
2. A good student must be willing to sacrifice for his art and his instructor. Many students feel that their training is a commodity that is bought with monthly dues and they 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 lower ranking students. It is only natural that they will attempt to emulate their seniors.
4. Always be loyal and never criticize the instructor, the art of Taekwon-Do, 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 his instructor.
7. If a student adopts a technique from another gym and the instructor disapproves of it, the student must discard it immediately or train at the other gym.
8. Never be disrespectful to the instructor. Though a student is allowed to disagree, the student must follow instructions first and discuss the matter later.
9. A student must always be eager to learn and ask questions.
10. Never betray a trust.
