The word "do" in Hapkido means way and implies more than just a method. As in most martial arts it refers to a path, as in a path or direction you take in life. The principles of Hapkido are: Courtesy - demonstrating respect and consideration for others Humility - not thinking of yourself more highly than you should Integrity - keeping your promises and being trustworthy in other people's eyes Perseverance - always trying to do your best Self-control - maintaining your temper and staying calm in stressful or unpleasant situations Indomitable spirit - never, never, never giving up |
