INDOMITABLE SPIRIT (Baekjool Boolgool)
"Here lie 300, who did their duty," a simple epitaph for one
of the greatest acts of courage known to mankind. Although facing
the superior forces of Xerxes, Leonidas and his 300 Spartans at
Thermoplylae showed the world the meaning of indomitable spirit.
It is shown when a courageous person and his principles are
pitted against overwhelming odds.
A serious student of Taekwon-Do will at all times be modest
and honest. If confronted with injustice, he will deal with the
belligerent without any fear or hesitation at all, with
indomitable spirit, regardless of whosoever and however many the
number may be.
Confucius declared," It is an act of cowardice to fail to
speak out against injustice." As history has proven, those who
have pursued their dreams earnestly and strenuously with
indomitable spirit have never failed to achieve their goals.
