"Sir: I will practice in the Spirit of Taekwondo,
With courtesy for fellow students,
Loyalty for my instructor,
And respect for my juniors and seniors, Sir!"

"Sir: I shall live with perseverance in the Spirit of Taekwondo,
Having honor with others,
Integrity within myself,
And self control in my actions, Sir!"
