Jidokwan Taekwondo
Their symbol is the double red circle that looks like a red snowman. It depicts the early kicking target that rolls to the floor and bounces back after each strike. Their philosophy here is with perseverance - Never give up - Never quit - Get knocked down nine times, get up ten. The symbol of Jidokwan is made up of three main parts. In the symbol, each of the three circles make within themselves a whole, with no beginning or end. Each of these symbolic circles represents different aspects to us as students of Jidokwan. The large outer circle represents the universe holding inside all we know and all we need around us within its mighty aspect. The larger circle inside represents our earth. The smaller circle represents the life on earth. When all three circles are placed together we see contact, one with the other. The outer eight pedals are the Buddhist lotus flower. There are eight pedals that represent the Eight Fold Path. The Eight Fold Path is the fourth of the Four Noble Truths, the core of what the Buddha taught in order to relieve suffering by the destruction of ignorance (internal obstacles). The eight outer pedals are called the "Palsungdo," or in English, Eight Sacred Ways. The colours of red gold and blue are each significant to the symbology of the Jidokwan emblem. Red is the colour of energy and power, courage and attention. Gold is for spirituality and freedom. Blue is for peace, calm and friendship. Do not criticise any of the other martial arts.
Speak ill of others and it will surely come back to you. The mountain
does not laugh at the river because it is lowly, nor does the river
speak ill of the mountain because it cannot move about.
