- Develop humility: Taking up Taekwondo is a humbling experience because losing in matches or making mistakes is inevitable. Before becoming an achiever, you must experience defeat. There will almost always be someone that knows more or can do better than you. Thus, students realize the amount of hard work and dedication it takes to excel in Taekwondo. Once they develop a sense of humility, they learn how to show respect to everyone.
