| The purpose of Choong Sil Kwon Taekwon-Do is to develop an individual's
mental and physical well being through a highly stylized and deliberate method of rigorous martial art training. The result
of this training is the empowering sense of self-worth and the ability to control ones' physical state and personal destiny.
|
|
| The student is guided into four stages of philosophical development. |
|
- Imagination
- Inspiration
- Actualization
- Realization
|
| In the initial stage of philosophical development, students must use their
imagination to set goals beyond their current limitations and from this visualize their achievements in advance. This in turn
strengthens their belief system to the point that specific goals are possible and obtainable. |
|
| With goals firmly in mind, the students must also learn to self-inspire
themselves into action, as they develop a sense of self-worth. Without this, one may never strive for success as they may feel that they do not deserve the
rewards that accompany achievement. |
|
| Actualization is to actually take the first step and enter into the process
of the work and reward system. The development of a strong work ethic is the most important element in this philosophy. Even
the most average of people can achieve excellence with a positive work habit. |
|
| Realization refers to the attainment of ones' goals. Upon reaching these
achievements, new privileges are merited as new goals are recognized. This process perpetuates itself as the previous results
offer new challenges and new and new responsibilities. This positive growth cycle not only improves oneself, but also the
immediate world around you this concept of "constant and never-ending improvement" is the ultimate purpose of Choong Sil Kwon. |
