 This
is my translation of the oath that hung in my dojang (Hapkido
Choiyukwan) in Kangnung, Korea. Thanks to Mr. Moon, Mr. Byeon,
and Ham Yi Saeng for their help with the translation. I
do not know if it hangs in every KHF dojang in Korea, but it
did mine, and I believe they are good tenants to follow,
regardless of your training or affiliation.
