TENETS OF HO-AM TAEKWONDO
The goal of Tiger-Rock is to
empower member students and instructors to enrich their personal,
artistic and professional lives through
Ho-Am TaeKwonDo training. Members
of Tiger-Rock believe that the highest
purpose of TaeKwonDo education is to
prepare students for the responsibilities
of citizenship.
Ho-Am TaeKwonDo is about real and powerful experiences, resulting in the discovery of innate capabilities and a heightened sense of responsibility. To that end, we encourage our students to use their martial arts knowledge to improve their communities through one act of leadership, public service and mentoring at a time.

Courtesy is thoughtfulness and consideration of others, humility, civility and politeness. |
| Integrity is the uncompromising adherence to a code of moral values and principles. It requires soundness of ethical strength. |
Perseverance is the steadfast pursuit of one’s goals. It is the quality of never giving up in the face of challenge. |

part of the solution of society’s problems. |
