  What’s going to happen to one of the most dynamic martial arts in the future?
  Is the most loved traditional martial art suffering in today’s modern technological
  and frenetic world that we live in, a world with a multitude of choice? How can
  we make the Art of Tae Kwon Do more endearing so that people will discover the
  many benefits it has to offer, both physically and spiritually, just like those who
  have gone before.
  The challenges of the 21st century are here and here to stay. I believe the theme
  is ‘small but special’ and people want more for less. There is no doubt that we as
  teachers have our work cut out, in trying to maintain the traditional Tae Kwon Do
  tenets and principles that have been our saviours during our commitment to the
  Art.
  Courtesy, Integrity, Perseverance, Self-control, Honesty and Courage are sadly
  just a few that are becoming less popular in today’s modern societies.
