Becoming a true superhero

Becoming a true superhero in the eyes of our children will not be hard; it will however, require us to adapt a code of honor. For this, I plan to adapt the basic tenets of Tang Soo Do, a martial art, I am most familiar. If you were to research other martial arts systems you would find that the tenets of their systems are not so unlike the tenants of the system we are about to study.
Yong Gi – Courage: To exercise the courage of your convictions

Chung Shin Tong Il – Concentration: To stay focused and notice what you are getting from your actions.

In Neh - Endurance: The staying power needed to go the course.

Chung Jik – Honesty: Being honest with yourself and in touch with the way you feel about what you’re doing, will be a vital element in your success.

Kyum Son – Humility: Humility, serves us in all aspects of life. No one has the ability to do all things we must know when it’s time to ask for help.

Him Cho Chung - Control of Power: The power to take charge, is also the power that gives us the ability to ask for help.

Shin Chook - Tension and Relaxation: A person’s body is like a battery. It will become worn down and sick without the proper care. All heroes know, in order to be strong for someone else, we first must be strong for ourselves. A person who gets fixated on one thing will be of no use to anyone. You must learn to take time for yourself.

Wan Gup - Speed Control: To approach our convictions in a timely manner.

In closing, I can only say to parents, do not relinquish your power. Learn to take charge. This is your family. No one will take care of them as well as you. Learn to do what is easy first and remember, what is easy, lye’s in your hands. And personality is so important. With the right personality, you can change the world.
