Martial Arts is about more than kicking and punching. It teaches you awareness, discipline, respect and coordination. Grandmaster Rhee used to say that anyone can teach punching and kicking but learning PaSaRyu was all about your mindset. You had to have your mind, body and spirit functioning together in harmony to be a true martial artist.
The PaSaRyu creed is:
Respect Flags, Respect Instructors, Respect SUN!.
PaSaRyu encompasses the following principles:
Chung - I am an expression of self-respect
I will improve myself through self reform and self refinement
Doe - I am an expression of self-discipline
I will develop a strong mind and body to overcome discourgements
Sun - I am an expression of ambition
I will accomplish my honorable goals to the best of my ability
Hang - I am an expression of appreciation
I will accept my responsibilities without complaint or discontentment in order to achieve happiness and success
