Why Taekwon-Do?
Taekwon-Do will improve your fitness and tone your body in a more interesting way than simply going to the gym. Many students join to learn how to defend themself and to learn a new skill. Taekwon-Do will also build your confidence and self esteem and is great for teaching discipline and respect in children.
What is Taekwon-Do?
It is a version of an ancient form of unarmed combat practiced for many centuries in the Orient. Taekwon-Do became perfected in its present form in Korea.
Translated from Korean “Tae” literally means to jump, kick or smash with the foot. “Kwon” means a fist – chiefly to punch or destroy with the hand or fist. “Do” means art, way or method. Taekwon-Do indicates the technique of unarmed combat for self-defence, involving the skilled application of punches, kicks, blocks, dodges and interception with the hand.
To the Korean people Taekwon-Do is more than a mere use of skilled movements. It also implies a way of thinking and life, particularly in instilling a concept and spirit of strict self – imposed discipline and an ideal of noble moral re-armament.
In these days of violence and intimidation, which seems to plague our modern societies, Taekwon-Do enables the weak to possess a fine weapon to defend himself or herself and defeat the opponent as well. When wrongly applied it can be a lethal weapon.
