What is Tae Kwon Do?

Developed over 20 centuries ago, Taekwondo is a style of Martial Art that has its origins rooted in Korea. Today, it is considered an international martial art as well as an Olympic sport. In Korean, “Tae” means to strike or kick with the foot, “Kwon” means to strike or punch with the hand, and “Do,” means the way of life. Through the study of Taekwondo, one can achieve physical and mental discipline, self-control, self-confidence, stress relief and most importantly, self-defense.

WHY IS TAEKWONDO SO POPULAR?

Taekwondo has endured for centuries and is today experiencing rapid growth because it offers a multitude of benefits that can be enjoyed by all people regardless of age, sex, or culture. Today, Taekwondo is being taught and practiced in over 110 countries.

Taekwondo is the Martial Art through which proficiency in self-defense can be developed in a relatively short period of time. It has been scientifically calculated for maximum efficiency of motion and therefore proven to be highly effective for self-defense. With sufficient training, the entire body of the practitioner becomes a weapon. When this level is achieved, quick reaction becomes second nature and a true sense of self-confidence is attained.

TAEKWONDO - THE ULTIMATE FITNESS

Many, if not most, people practice Taekwondo primarily because it is the most complete form of exercise. Taekwondo promotes the strength and coordination of the whole body, as well as providing maximum aerobic fitness and flexibility.

FITNESS OF MIND AS WELL AS BODY

The tremendous physical training is only a part of the ultimate goal of Taekwondo. The true focus is on the harnessing of human potential, the power each of us possesses but rarely uses. If Taekwondo is to be called an Art of self-defense, then its goal is best described in this manner: The best self-defenses of a serene, self-contained, person at peace with himself and the world around him.

This type of personal development emphasizes, but is not limited to, the development of mental discipline, emotional self-restraint and a philosophy of kindness, humility and a strong moral character. One who has mastered Taekwondo is a powerful, but gentle individual.

"Knowledge in the brain, honesty in the heart, and strength in the body" is a motto that Martial Artists around the world share. Taekwondo’s quest is to spread its logic, goodness and philosophy for the cause of World peace.
