When you have integrity you can look people in the eye with confidence and know that what you\u2019ve said is believed and trusted.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td valign=\"top\" width=\"113\">Loyalty<\/td>\n<td valign=\"top\" width=\"508\">The very word is life itself, for without loyalty we have no love of person or country.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td valign=\"top\" width=\"113\">Courtesy<\/td>\n<td valign=\"top\" width=\"508\">Allow each person their dignity. Show the courtesy that you hope to receive from others by showing it in your everyday life. It goes beyond the training hall door.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td valign=\"top\" width=\"113\">Self-Control<\/td>\n<td valign=\"top\" width=\"508\">Self-control means never having to say you\u2019re sorry. By learning to control your words and actions people are less likely to be hurt by them.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td valign=\"top\" width=\"113\">Kindness<\/td>\n<td valign=\"top\" width=\"508\">This can stop wars and erase hate. But like a bike, it\u2019s no good if you don\u2019t get out and use it\u2026. and it\u2019s free.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td valign=\"top\" width=\"113\">Obedience<\/td>\n<td valign=\"top\" width=\"508\">This begins at home. Practice it with your family. Then enlarge it with your friends. Share it with humanity.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td valign=\"top\" width=\"113\">Cleanliness<\/td>\n<td valign=\"top\" width=\"508\">Soap and water works for the outside of the body. You have to work on the inside with a different type of cleaner.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td valign=\"top\" width=\"113\">Perseverance<\/td>\n<td valign=\"top\" width=\"508\">A Black Belt never quits. Once started it is better to finish. Sometimes people start projects and do not realise the difficulties that lie ahead. A Black Belt will look at these, not as difficulties, but as challenges to be overcome.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td valign=\"top\" width=\"113\">Courage<\/td>\n<td valign=\"top\" width=\"508\">Courage is shown by striving on despite the odds. It does not require fighting with your hands and feet, but with your mind.\u00a0 Without fear, there is no courage.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td valign=\"top\" width=\"113\">Reverence<\/td>\n<td valign=\"top\" width=\"508\">Life is precious. A Black Belt remembers this and strives to refrain from harming others, even when they do wrong.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>A Black Belt strives to encompass these qualities in their daily life.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><em><br \/>\n<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Q:\u00a0 What does being a black belt mean to you?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This is a personal response.\u00a0 Overall we are looking for a thoughtful answer, considering things such as how you have grown and improved both mentally and physically over your years of training.<em><br \/>\n<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Q:\u00a0 What is Taekwondo and being a black belt all about aside from the kicking and punching?<\/strong><br \/>\n<\/em><\/p>\n<p>This is a personal response.\u00a0 Some things to consider are:\u00a0 The physical aspect of Taekwondo is possibly the least important part of what we do.\u00a0 Of course being physically fit and healthy, and having the ability to defend yourself are very beneficial, but the things you can use every day, everywhere, are the non physical such as self-discipline, commitment, perseverance, confidence, self-esteem, respect, responsibility, humility etc.\u00a0 Whether at school, work, or a social setting being healthy and successful at anything throughout life comes through the development and practice of these.<em><br \/>\n<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Q:\u00a0 What are the below and what do they do:\u00a0<\/strong><br \/>\n<\/em><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><em>WTF<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>TA<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>Kukkiwon<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><em>A:<\/em>\u00a0 The World Taekwondo Federation (WTF) is the international governing body for Taekwondo.\u00a0 Its Headquarters are in Korea, and in each country it has a representative national organisation.\u00a0 Together the WTF and the individual countries governing body are responsible for the conduct of the competition aspects of Taekwondo.\u00a0 Major events include the Olympics and World Championships.<em><br \/>\n<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>A:<\/em>\u00a0 Taekwondo Australia (TA), is the national sporting organisation for Taekwondo in Australia and is responsible for the conduct of National level competitions and selection events for international competitions in Australia.\u00a0 It also generally oversees Taekwondo in Australia.<em><br \/>\n<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>A:<\/em>\u00a0 The Kukkiwon is the international body based in Korea which recognises black belt level gradings.\u00a0 Kukkiwon certification is recognised in over 200 countries.\u00a0 To grade to the highest levels of Taekwondo such as 8<sup>th<\/sup> or 9<sup>th<\/sup> testing is conducted directly by Kukkiwon in Korea.<\/p>\n<p><em>\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>Terminology<\/h3>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Q:\u00a0 Learn all terminology from:<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Blue III list<\/li>\n<li>Red I list<\/li>\n<li>Red II list<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>A:\u00a0 Terminology &#8211;

Of course then I was in primary school and martial arts was mainly for fun, but over time I became more serious about my training. In 1992 I started teaching, and by 1998 I had opened my own club. Over the next few years the club continued to grow opening in more locations and adding more classes at the old locations. These were of course old school and church halls, and teaching children of all levels and ages together, and adults of all levels together. As the club continued to grow I started to feel that there had to be a better way to teach - you would never put year one and year seven students in the same class at school, so why did we do it teaching martial arts. Of course you wouldn't expect them to learn the same things either. I also felt that adults weren't getting all they could from the classes in a one size fits all format. In addition to this, I wanted to take a more holistic approach to training, looking at all aspects of physical and mental health. In 2002 I decided the way forward was a full-time facility that could integrate all these aspects of health, and that would allow classes to be split by age and experience level. It took two years and a couple of false starts to find the right location, and in late 2004 work started on BTC. In 2011 we purchased and custom fitted our own building. Since then the centre has continued to go from strength to strength and developed a solid reputation as a leader in the martial arts and sports industry. We have also managed to maintain a friendly family orientated and social atmosphere within the club. My personal background was originally in martial arts, although I formally studied Science at QUT. Over the years I broadened both my martial arts knowledge and general knowledge of health and well being. My aim is to help every student achieve their personal goals and exceed their every expectation. I believe the enthusiasm and desire for constant and never ending improvement that I bring to my personal life and to every class is infectious, and will ultimately help every student in achieving their personal goal. Further, the holistic approach I take to developing a person as a whole, and the martial arts I teach as a whole, has led to the development of a very unique, innovative, and modern approach to a centuries old tradition. Our classes include the best aspects of body mechanics, sports psychology, boxing, yoga, tai chi, pilates, diet &amp; nutrition and much more. All of this has led to the creation of a fun, safe, effective, and easy to learn system of teaching and style of martial art. Of course much of what has been achieved over the past few years is thanks to our great team, and the hundreds of loyal and passionate members of all of BTC's activities.

I believe the enthusiasm and desire for constant and never ending improvement that I bring to my personal life and to every class is infectious, and will ultimately help every student in achieving their personal goal. Further, the holistic approach I take to developing a person as a whole, and the martial arts I teach as a whole, has led to the development of a very unique, innovative, and modern approach to a centuries old tradition. Our classes include the best aspects of body mechanics, sports psychology, boxing, yoga, tai chi, pilates, diet &amp; nutrition and much more. All of this has led to the creation of a fun, safe, effective, and easy to learn system of teaching and style of martial art. Of course much of what has been achieved over the past few years is thanks to our great team, and the hundreds of loyal and passionate members of all of BTC's activities.
