Abijan
“My best friend is my brother”

“Do you have a picture of you and your TKD friends? Send it to us at kidsarecool@tkd-itf.org and you might be in the next issue of Kid Kicks… Cool eh?”

Every reason is a good reason to learn Taekwon-Do
Isn’t it fun though when you learn Taekwon-Do with a friend-They laugh with you, encourage you to try harder - practice tricky step sparring moves with you - hang out with you at tournaments and even share their “energy” cookies with you!!!

Did you know???
General Choi was thinking of friends when he created the tenets of Taekwon-Do. “In order for a true friendship to develop and last it takes many hardships, sacrifices, and time, from both individuals”. Thus it requires perseverance in order for one to be honorable to one’s friends. This is why the tenet ‘Perseverance’ comes from the code ‘be honorable to your friends’.
