CORE PRINCIPLES
NEODO TAEKWONDO ACADEMY
Our Name and Logo
Our name is formed by mixing the words "Neo (new)" and "Do (path/philosophy)", symbolising a modern approach to a timeless discipline. In Korean, Neo means "너" (you), reflecting the self-awareness of the martial arts training that can help you understand yourself, your beliefs, and your motivations and help you make better decisions.
Our logo consists of a modernised Taekwondo belt forming an infinity symbol under the silhouette of a Taekwondo dobok (uniform) signifying continuous growth and evolution.
Blue reflects trust, innovation, and clarity. Black and gold symbolise mastery and excellence.
Our Motto
Our motto, "Tradition with Innovation," reflects the timeless philosophy of Taekwondo blended with modern tools and techniques. NeoDo emphasises the balance between preserving Taekwondo's traditional values and embracing innovation, which sets our academy apart. We value Taekwondo's discipline and heritage and apply new methods and technologies.
