Kicks Cha-gi--It is very important to remember the Principle of the Ball and Chain. Pivoting early on the support foot, provides momentum and proper joint alignment...Every kick has the circularity concept built in.

Five Tenets of TaeKwonDo
Courtesy--An example is in the Salutations we use when coming and going.
Integrity--
Perseverance--
Self Control--
Indomitable Spirit--An example is in the 10 punches to 1 punch metaphor: imagine you realize your opponent will defeat you, and strike you many times in the match.  Indomitable Spirit will lead you to seek out as many opportunities to counter your opponent, and land your strikes.  So defending against 10 blows and not seeking the opportunity for even one counter attack against your opponent implies a passivity of spirit.

Do (moral culture or way of life)

Externalization of Internal Energy--Internal energy/awareness can be translated into the physical, or "external" world.  You are the fish in the Cup, and the boundaries of the Cup are your limits of your present energy and power. Martial Training concentrates and focuses your power, and teaches you the various dimensions through which you can access your power.  Martial Training agitates the Cup, so much that the Cup tips over, and you spill out into a puddle.

The puddle has increased your field of awareness, and you can now access new limits of power to which before you did not understand. Further training is like a raindance, and the deluge which eventually flows, floods the puddle, and moves you now into a dynamic, interactive, and flowing stream.  Your boundaries from the Cup, and the puddle, slowly become dim memories, as you can
now understand your progress with perspective.
