What is Taekwondo?
Taekwondo is a Korean Martial Art developed around the 1940’s by various Korean Masters as a blend of Korean fighting styles with some influence from foreign martial arts, such as Karate. The term directly translates as “the way of the hand and foot”. The sport is characterized by the way kicks and punches are employed to defeat an opponent with emphasis on the physical training requiring strength, body coordination, free fighting techniques and skills. The main goal of learning Taekwondo is to achieve control over the mind as well as the body. Through the art of Taekwondo, students learn courtesy, perseverance, integrity, self-control and an indomitable spirit.
