The emotional

wars the modern day warrior must face on a
daily basis are most likely very different from those fought by
the Hwarang. While many of the physical techniques have
remained intact, the weaponry and protagonists, being of a
starkly dissimilar nature, have radically changed over time
requiring an improved suit of armor. This garment must be
woven with the threads of self-esteem, the leather of confidence,
and the metal of perseverance. Traditional taekwondo, as the
reader shall discover, if practiced with diligence and sincerity, is
certain to provide the raw materials necessary to construct just
such a suit of armor.
