Taekwondo practice is carried out in the form of fighting between two sides, but no matter how intense, because both sides aim at improving their skills and tempering their will, they should hold the psychology of showing respect and learning to each other in their own hearts. Therefore, we must salute each other before and after practice or competition, which is the martial spirit of "starting with ceremony and ending with ceremony" advocated by Taekwondo. Because Taekwondo is a comprehensive exercise of practitioners' mind and body, it enables practitioners to cultivate ideal personality and body through hard training, and can really master self-defense skills, so practitioners' mental exercise must include "etiquette" education and edification. Etiquette is an essential and very important part of Taekwondo.
