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.

When I started practicing Taekwon-Do in 1986 as a police officer complying with the rules and regulations of the Ethiopian Police Force, I did not expect to reach the 7th Degree or Master’s degree that I am currently competing for. But as much as I understood the art of Taekwon-Do, I had a strong desire and vision to reach the heights of the art in my country – Ethiopia. So, with all the effort and sacrifice required to master the art, I was able to complete my training time and practice better alongside my regular work.
