Student / Instructor Relationship: Students (Jeja)
- Never tire of learning. A good student can learn anywhere, any time. This is the secret of knowledge.
- A good student must be willing to sacrifice for his art and Instructor. Many students feel that their training is a commodity bought with monthly dues, and are unwilling to take part in demonstrations, teaching and working around the do jang. An Instructor can afford to lose this type of student.
- Always set a good example for lower ranking students. It is only natural they will attempt to emulate senior students.
- Always be loyal and never criticise the Instructor, Taekwon-Do or the teaching methods.
- If an Instructor teaches a technique, practise it and attempt to utilise it.
- Remember that a student’s conduct outside the do jang reflects on the art and Instructor.
- If a student adopts a technique from another do jang and the Instructor disapproves of it the student must discard it immediately or train at the gym where the technique was learned.
- Never be disrespectful to the Instructor. Though a student is allowed to disagree with the Instructor, the student must first follow the instruction and then discuss the matter later.
- A student must always be eager to learn and ask questions.
- Never betray the Instructor.
