Personal Creed

 

My work is a reflection of myself

My execution of marital arts technique is also a reflection of myself

In whatever productive work I do

I will create a masterpiece

It will reflect my genius and virtuosity

In all things I will work most seriously, intelligently and whole heartedly

To it I commit my soul, my body and spirit and even my whole life's fortune

I am a doer, a venturer a winner

 

            - Grandmaster Sang Kyu Shim

 

Students' Creed

 

To build true confidence through

Knowledge in the mind

Honesty in the heart

Strength in the body

To keep friendships with one another

And build a strong and happy community

Never fight to achieve selfish ends

But develop a might for right

 

            - Grandmaster Jhoon Rhee

 

A Leader is best...

 

A leader is best when people barely know he exists

(it is) not so good when people obey or acclaim him

(it is) worse when they despise him

but of a good leader, who talks little,

when his work is done, his aim fulfilled

they will say,

"We did it ourselves"
