Rules & Virtues
Conduct
Korean folklore teaches that two Hapkido warriors asked the Buddist high priest, Wong Kwang Bopsa, for rules that they could follow without taking on the secluded lives of monks.The priest studied the moral principals of Buddhism and the martial arts codes of chivalry to devise an ethical system which he summarized in five rules and nine virtues.The martial artist requires something larger than ego and self-interest to sustain the commitment needed to study.
 
Five Rules
  1. Loyalty to one's country.
  2. Loyalty to one' parents.
  3. Trust and brotherhood among friends.
  4. Courage never to retreat in the face of the enemy.
  5. Justice never to take a life without cause.
 
Nine Virtues

Our Creed
