Master Yu has this to say about Taekwondo:

Taekwondo is one of the most systematic Korean traditional martial arts that teaches far more than just physical fighting skills. It is a discipline that teaches us ways of enhancing our spirit and life through training our body and mind. Today, it has become a globally-recognized sport that has gained an immense following, and now stands among the official games of the Summer Olympics. In a word, Taekwondo can be characterized by UNITY: the unity of body, mind, and life; the unity of the pose ["poomsae," or "forms"] and confrontation; and cracking down. When you do Taekwondo, you should make your mind peaceful and synchronize your mind with your movements, and extend this harmony to your life and society. This is how, in Taekwondo, the principles of physical movements, mind training, and of life become one and the same. Taekwondo pursues harmonious growth and improvements of life through its unique activities. This is why one can say that Taekwondo is a way of life. To ultimately enable ourselves to lead more valuable lives, we would do well by finding the guiding principles deeply hidden in Taekwondo.
