What is Taekwon-Do?

 

Taekwon-Do is the Korean martial art system designed for self-defence. Its disciplines are the basis for building respect, confidence and resolve.

 

Translated...

  • "Tae" means to smash with the foot.
  • "Kwon" means to punch or destroy with the hand or fist.
  • "Do" means an art, or “the way”.

 

By training regularly, students progress through a grading system that will also maintain fitness and improve flexibility. Even if Taekwon-Do is practiced for exercise alone, the enjoyment justifies the time spent learning.

 

If you exercise in a gym, you choose your own pace and level. In a similar way, Taekwon-Do can be suitable for the mature and young, male or female.
