This is an educational magazine created by BSN 1-Moonstone students. It is designed for readers who want to learn about Taekwondo, its techniques, history, training, and the experiences of a Taekwondo athlete.
The magazine begins with a rationale and objectives section explaining that it aims to share important information about the sport and show that Taekwondo teaches discipline, respect, patience, confidence, and determination beyond kicking and fighting.

Basic techniques covered include stances, punches, blocks, and kicks such as front kick, side kick, roundhouse kick, and back kick.
The magazine explains the five tenets of Taekwondo: courtesy, integrity, perseverance, self control, and indomitable spirit. It also describes the belt system from white belt representing a beginner through yellow, green, blue, red, and black belt representing maturity and advanced knowledge.
A featured section profiles Taekwondo athlete Mr. Japoy Lizardo, covering where it all started, his rise fighting for the Philippines, challenges along the way, a new role, and the people behind his success. The magazine concludes with sections on Taekwondo and life, a glossary, authors, and acknowledgements.
