something like loyalty to ones country, friends, never retreat from battle and to not take a life unjust...but that lacks the sloganiscity of tenets...

ITA has seven... the five plus a couple...
I know that Choi's Tenets came from the Hwarang code, my point is they are not the tenets of Taekwondo, original or otherwise, even though Choi and other may call his Tenets that. Example: My Kwan root is Jidokwan, which was founded well before Choi was involved, and 10 years before CHOI, Hong Hi wrote the Tenets for his Oh Do Kwan.

Jidokwan's has it's own Creedo, Pledge, Manners of Solemnity, etc., (www.taekwondojidokwan.com) and, they have nothing to do with Choi's Tenets. The KTA, the Kukkiwon nor the WTF ever adopted Choi's Tenets either, so what evidence do you have that so-called original Tenets of Taekwondo was accepted by the main Taekwondo body, or even roots bodies?
