What is Taekwondo?
Taekwondo is an ancient Korean form of martial art developed 2,000 years ago as a form of unarmed self-defense. Literally translated – “Tae” refers to foot or kicking, “Kwon” indicates hand or striking, and “Do” means art or method. The philosophy behind Taekwondo is that the practitioner should be able to stop an attacker immediately with one well-focused punch, strike, or kick to a vital area. This philosophy is clearly evident when observing a demonstration of Taekwondo. The power and spirit that is generated is awesome. A Taekwondo practitioner can maintain his or her peace of mind by having confidence in themselves without fear.
