===IDEAL INSTRUCTOR===

Soldiers are as strong as the general who leads((corrected typo per pg 46 of the condensed encyclopedia)) them, and, in a like manner, students can only excel under an excellent instructor. We cannot expect a bamboo to grow in a field of reeds, nor can we expect to find an outstanding pupil under an unqualified teacher.

It is of particular importance that the two aspects of Taekwon-Do, the spirit and the technique, must be taught together. Therefore, a qualified instructor must combine the qualities of a scholar and a soldier if he is to
produce pupils of noble character and outstanding skills.

Such an instructor must possess the following qualities:

  - Strong moral and ethical standard((altered per pg 46 of the condensed encyclopedia; original text: standards)).
  - Clear outlook and philosophy in life.
  - Responsible attitude as an instructor.
  - Scientific mind in matters of technique.
  - Knowledge of the vital spots of human anatomy.
  - Unshakable integrity in political and financial dealings.
  - Dedication to spread the art of Taekwon-Do throughout the world.
  - One who gains confidence from his seniors, is trusted by his fellow instructors, and is respected by his juniors.
