Abstract

This study was conducted to examine the role of current taekwondo education as a character education and to present proper orientation of taekwondo. The purpose of character education through taekwondo would be to teach the ‘Taekwondoism’ in which the trainees could devote themselves with strong physical & mental spirit acquired from the training that nourish the propriety, leadership, collaborative attitudes, sacrificing, compliance, and/or service to members around the community. Currently, the ‘filial piety’ and ‘propriety’ are typically emphasized as a mental orientation of taekwondo for behavioral guidelines or as programs to form basic living habits for trainees. In matches of taekwondo that have been held around the world, the techniques or skills to win points have been emphasized, which could not be in line with the character education. Leaders or coaches of taekwondo training should have been taking the stand on cultivation of humanistic education. Thus, the issue of cultivating right character education should be integrated into a systematic curriculum for the leaders or coaches of taekwondo education. To cultivate ethical human nature through taekwondo, educations in morality and sensibility should be provided in combination with taekwondo, so that they could be realized by training experiences of the trainees to avoid the contractions of the values of taekwondo.
