Taekwondo took on the attributes of many other styles of martial arts, losing its traditions and focusing more on the sport than the art. Grand Master Lee not only returned Taekwondo to its traditional values and its focus on the personal development of the student physically, mentally and emotionally, but he also developed the first set of forms that were truly Taekwondo forms based on Taekwondo techniques (previous styles of Taekwondo borrowed patterns and styles from Chinese, Japanese, and Okinawa styles.) 

The rock is solid and represents ageless history. It was created many thousands of years ago and remains basically the same today. Over the years, various changes may take place to the rock on its surface due to the elements that it must face. However, the integrity of the rock remains the same. It is still solid and a sure foundation. The same is true for Songahm Taekwondo. It was developed many hundreds of years ago and its surface has changed, but the integrity, the inner part of the style, still remains the same.
