Which concept is associated with Tang Soo Do Code 3?

• A. Indomitable spirit
• B. Honor friendship
• C. No retreat in battle
• D. In fighting, choose with sense and honor

Answer: (B)

Honoring friendship as a guiding principle is what Code 3 emphasizes. It means treating training partners and fellow students with respect, loyalty, and support—protecting their safety, helping them improve, and acting with integrity in all dojo interactions. This focus on mutual trust and cooperative spirit is what sets Code 3 apart, making it the concept described by that code. Other codes highlight different traits—inner resolve, perseverance, or ethical decision‑making in action—but the emphasis on building and upholding respectful, supportive relationships among peers is why honoring friendship fits Code 3.
