Professional Taekwon‐Do instructors are self‐employed owners of small businesses. They do not have the benefits of specialists employed by corporations. This includes common employment benefits, such as pension schemes.

Therefore, the ITF should educate its instructors financially – in budgeting, debt management, wealth protection, accumulation and decumulation.

General Choi Hong Hi founded Taekwon-Do including the Tenets, meant as a guide for all serious students of the art. These tenets have guided all of us through the decades, years and days and are very important for the way we train, teach, inter-act and live. The way to interpret and implement them is sometimes obvious but at other times a rather complex task. Furthermore, the way to interpret them can differ from each individual due to personality and/ or philosophy but also depending on what role a person has. I would like to compare the interpretation and view of these tenets based on input I have gathered from some different “stakeholders”:

La idea de este trabajo es reflexionar y poder pensar acerca ciertos procesos psíquicos individuales y grupales que se producen durante la transmisión de nuestro arte. No sólo lo veremos desde el punto de vista de la transmisión de nuestro arte marcial en base a sus principios y filosofía, de la metodología de enseñanza adecuada, sino también desde los efectos que produce la práctica del Taekwon-Do en cuanto a elevar la autoestima y qué relación tiene esto último con el manejo y control de la agresividad.
