Taekwondo is language.
A dialogue between subjectivity and objectivity,
<43>
Between my opponent and I, <7>
Now and then <61>
Mind and body <31>
Tradition and innovation <18>
Between change and constancy, <48>
Man and nature <10>
Being and nothingness. <44>
The Language is spoken by the hands and feet.
<43>
All these being equal, <55>
From what is in front of me
I see what lies ahead. <62>
From a tiny beginning
I can achieve great things and
Move my opponent using only my will. <27>
What could be done
Within the narrow space closed and firm,
If I cannot see my way outside of myself
I will look inside and
Master my adversary by
Attaching my own vulnerabilities. <29>
