"Mental development" can be considered from two perspectives: intellect" development, such as memory and visualization improvement, and the development of the heart -- the characteristics that make a better human being.

Qualities such as those described in the Song Ahm Spirit of Taekwondo are as important as the physical techniques to a student’s total development. By consciously pursuing these traits, the student’s thought patterns are raised to a higher level of moral character. The development of these characteristics is of limited value, however, until the person begins to interact and participate in society. As it is said, the human being is a social animal. We have the right and the desire to live with others; at the same time, we have the duty and responsibility to create and maintain a better community.

"The most honored position Is that of lnstructor’. .
one who gives his time and effort to pass knowledge, skills, and moral values to posterity.’

Master H. U. Lee
