Core Values
Core Values
Outback taekwondo seeks to provide a safe, fair, respectful and inclusive environment for everyone involved in our club and in our sport. As members of Australian Taekwondo, we aim to help protect the integrity and reputation of taekwondo in Australia. The ability for us to participate, compete, officiate and enjoy our martial art and sport, in safety and fairness, requires a clear understanding of and compliance with certain standards of behaviour, known as Codes of Conduct. The core values are what Outback Taekwondo will strive to uphold, as all students have a right to try and participate in Taekwondo at our hall. Students are encouraged to learn and memorise the Tenents of Taekwondo and the Student Oath, as this is a reminder for students of their obligations to their art, instructors, fellow students, people outside of the dojang and the society that we live in.
