School Philosophy Tae Kwon Karate Center Philosophy: Using the values of traditional Taekwon Do to transform lives. ​ Tae Kwon Karate Center's philosophy comprises a complete martial arts system of physical exercises with a philosophic developmental principal. A long time ago, Koreans believed in spiritual powers from nature, clouds, sky, sun, rocks, moon, etc… Possibly for this reason there is sometimes a misunderstanding that the philosophy of martial arts is considered like a “religious principal”, this is not correct. Martial arts, including Tae kwon Do, is not a religion but a way of understanding ourselves and the rest of the world; nothing else.
