UpTheIrons Posted April 30, 2005 Posted April 30, 2005 The only Code we really follow is the original Hwa Rang Code, which I try to interpret as it might apply in this modern time. We don't recite it in class, but I make an effort to explain it.

UpTheIrons Posted May 1, 2005 Posted May 1, 2005 The 5 Codes of the Hwa Rang:1. Loyalty. In the old days it meant loyalty to your King. For Tae Kwon Do it can be translated as loyalty to your country or Instructor.2. Filial Piety. Respecting and caring for your parents. It can also, I think, be interpreted as taking care of and respecting your Instructor, teachers, and seniors.3. Integrity among friends. Being known as someone who can be trusted and keeps their word.4. Courage. Being brave in the face of adversity.5. Never make an unjust kill. As Tae Kwon Do students, we have developed our bodies into powerful weapons. We must use it against people only when necessary.
