The philosophy associated with Taekwondo is regarded as special, but many ask what makes it special? When learning philosophies read from books, we often forget them as soon as we have read them due to the fact that they are not associated with our real lives. But when it comes to Taekwondo, it is very connected to our actual lives just like every move we make, meaning we will never forget the philosophies.
