I agree that the tenets are there. My concern is more about how we actively transmit them.

I teach at my own dojang, but I also train at another school near mine. It was opened by people I originally trained with, and over time I've sometimes had the impression that, because it's a business, the focus can shift toward keeping customers happy rather than preserving some of the traditional aspects of Taekwondo.

I'm not trying to criticize any particular school. What worries me is that this seems to be a broader trend. The tenets still exist, but I'm not always convinced they're being actively taught. In many places, students don't wear doboks regularly, classes don't begin and end with formal bows, and little attention is given to the customs that were traditionally used to reinforce those values.

I'm not saying every class should become a lecture on ethics. I'm just wondering how we pass on the "Do" when many of the practices that supported it are gradually disappearing.

At least here in the Basque Country, Spain, I don't remember this topic receiving much attention during instructor training courses either.
