3One can not simplify the meaning of Taekwon-Do, but to put it in its most basic form, Taekwon-Do was originated in Korea and is not only the art of kicking and punching, but the wisdom of life.
Taekwon-Do is not merely a version of unarmed combat designed for self-defence, but it is also the scientific and ultimate use of body gained through intensive phisical and mental training. Taekwon-Do was designed on the fundamentals of kinetic and potetial energy due to velocity and gravity respectively. By applying these principles together correctly along with the teory of power, Taekwon-Do will creates unequal power and technique.
Though Taekwon-Do is an independence martial art, uniquely with its discipline, techniques and mental training are the fundamental for building a strong sense of justice, fortitude, humility and loyalty. It is the mental conditioning and soul realisation of caring and love to all living natures that seperates the true practitioner from the sensationalist content with mastering only the fighting aspects. This is the one of the reasons that Taekwon-Do is called an art of self-defense. It also implies a way of life, particularly in instilling a concept of self-imposed discipline and an ideal of noble moral rearmament.
Through devoted training one can gradually attain mental fitness. By practising and repeating each step to perfection, we bwcome more patient. Self-confidence is attained through the power of one's body and the knowledge of how to use it at any place and in any situation. Sparring helps us buildhumility, courage, alertness, and acuracy and develops self co-ordination. Through discipline and interaction with others, we learn co-operation and mutual respect. Prejudices are not welcome and we soon learn that racial barriers only stand in the way of our training.
There are many physical benefits for a person who practises Taekwon-Do. along with developing a healthier, leaner and more flexible body, we also increase endurance through a typical training regime. The health-related effects of training are numerous. Taekwon-Do training:
