As mentioned in the Cultural and Historical Foundations of Choi Kwang Do, the development of mental strength and a positive attitude is important for all Choi Kwang Do students. The Student Oath and The Principles of Choi Kwang Do were established to help serve this purpose and are recited prior to each class. The Adult students recite the Pledge and the Children recite the Promise, which is easier for our younger students to understand. All Students are expected to apply the statements in the Oath and in the Principals to their lives both in and out of the Dojang on a daily basis.
