Black Belt Philosophy
EXAMPLE IN LEADERSHIP
“A leader is one who knows the way, goes the way, and shows the way.” - John C. Maxwell
“The quality of a leader is reflected in the standards they set for themselves.” - Ray Kroc
“Setting an example is not the main means of influencing another, it is the only means.” - Albert Einstein
“A good example has twice the value of good advise.” - Anonymous
“A person always doing his or her best becomes a natural leader, just by example.” - Joe DiMaggio
Poom/Black Belt
Master Chong’s World Class Tae Kwon Do
“Example is leadership.” - Albert Schweitzer
“It’s not fair to ask of others what you are not willing to do yourself.” - Eleanor Roosevelt
Martial Arts Perspective
Life Skill Perspective
The significance behind the way that students line up
in Tae Kwon Do class represents respect for senior
ranks, as well as the philosophy that one should "lead
from the front". Each line should be able to look
at the students in front of them and see greater and
greater examples of skill and effort. As a Black belt,
you stand closest to the front and have the greatest
responsibility to serve as a role model.
Our actions, words, and example are on display to
others much of each day. In a very short period of
time people will make judgments about our abilities,
attitude and character based on how we represent
ourselves. No element is too small to consider. Make
it a habit of dressing for success, carrying yourself
with good posture, and speaking kindly of others both
when they are and are not present. Conduct yourself
as though your words and deeds are on display and
your relationships and reputation will benefit. People
like to follow a leader whose example they admire
and respect.
On the one hand, it is important to set the example
for all of the big things - kihapping and training with
intensity and demonstration high levels of techniques.
However, you must also be equally diligent about
setting the right example for the smaller moments
such as how you handle a loss in a competition,
boards not breaking at a level test, and even how
respectfully you bow to your seniors and instructors
at special events outside of the school. Be sure to lead
by example all of the time and others will follow your
lead.
