WHAT IS TAEKWONDO
THE ART OF THE FOOT AND FIST
Taekwondo is a system of symmetrical body exercises or techniques designed for self defense and counterattack in unarmedcombat, making use of the hands and feet as weapons and for defence.
Taekwondo is not just a physical skill, it’s also a way of thought and life. Through strict discipline, Taekwondo trains both the body and the mind placing great emphasis on the development of moral character. In other words, control of the mind, self discipline, kindness, and humility must accompany the physical aspect of this martial art.
WHY TAEKWONDO?
People train for physical reasons such as exercise and
conditioning, strength, self-defense, sport, etc. People also train to strengthen their personal qualities like self-discipline and selfesteem.
Other benefits include mental health, inner calm and focus. Of course most people train for combinations of these reasons,
and many others.
