The process of practicing Taekwondo always ought to be that of overcoming your limitation. To go out over your limitation, it is the process of transcendental discipline. There are always fear, pain and temptation of self excuse in this process, which thus requires patience and fortitude to conquer them all. All of these constitute just the character building. Strengthening your body, training you mind and learning Taekwondo are same with one another.

Why is it that a Taekwondo man should train himself always in the pain of transcendental discipline? It is just owing to the unlimitedness of life. There is no rule in life. If there were any, it is rule of nature that man cannot infringe. The unlimitedness of life, this is the unlimitedness Taekwondo has as martiality(). There is no rule for the Taekwondo man who faces his opponent on the boundary of life and death. He only relies at the level of transcendence on the oughtness that he should win the fight with the opponent. There is no knowing what cunning evil plot and unexpected tactics or cruel technique the opponent might try. There can be no plea to it after death. This is the unlimitedness of Taekwondo.

By the way, this unlimitedness of Taekwondo generates the reason why we ought to obey the rule in competition. The man, who cannot control over his opponent in fair play with full obedience to rule in competition, cannot surpass him with no rule in actual fight either. That he ignores rule cowardly in competition means that he cannot avoid death in unlimited actual fight. The rule of competition is that of man. It exists for the sake of what man wants to do, which is to protect man in sparring. The nature does not care man. The Taekwondo man exhausts all the frailty of death and the anguish of defeat in pain of transcendental discipline. It is a choice.

The limitation of oneself is in its concept the realm and boundary of all he can do. The limitational realm is to grow each time he goes over it. The total of what a man can do refers to his own size. That one goes over his limitation, although this includes contradictory property, it is nevertheless possible for the Taekwondo man because of the will power he has, his fortitude, his patience that comes from reverence for the life.

In this way Taekwondo man experiences and comes in direct contact with the most positive aspect of man's essence, which is conversely also the contradictory aspect at once, in the process of grasping his own limitation, i.e. in Taekwondo training. And because one's limitation gets enlarged each time of his training Taekwondo man meets his limitation every time that he has to overcome.

Through Taekwondo training Taekwondo man changes himself preserving what he is at the same time. Thus, training Taekwondo is the process that goes on in everyone's life. This implies both its objective and its process in one in itself. All of the meaning of life, the true pleasure, the absolute strongness and so on are immanent in this whole, in which the objective and the process make one. And they are also derivational at the same time, too.

Therefore, everyone's training process, no matter what it may be constituted of, can be divided into two steps; the first step to reach his limitation, which is prior in time, and the second step to overome it, next. These two steps in one cannot be discerned actually.

Everyone's limitation can be charaterized in various ways for himself and the limitations in each aspect when woven with anothers forms the entire limitational situation. Each one breaks one limitational aspect attaining the stepping stone to break the entire situation. This entire limitational situation, this is myself whom I meet in Taekwondo and my eternal opponent.

In some cases there are some limitational situations that seem to be impossible for you to overcome simply with your will power. For example, what would you do if it matters that you cannot react swiftly enough to a sign? The overcoming method for every limitational situation is given in one, because yourself is one as whole, and so, your limitations are also one as whole, thus, its overcoming is one like others.

In this way, I practice more exercise of simple reacting motion over my limit to conquer my limitation. And I attain tranquility of mind and the control of my life in this overcoming process. Then, any one can be happy with skills of killing.
