Tae Kwon Do
Taekwondo is the Korean martial art of health, fitness and self-defence. The main feature of Taekwondo is that it is a free fighting combat sport using bare hands and feet to repel an opponent. Translated, Taekwondo means “Foot,Hand,Way” ( the art of foot and hand fighting) but there is much more to Taekwondo than kicking and punching. Taekwondo training aims to develop better co-ordination, self confidence and all round fitness. Taekwondo is a guide for the formation of outstanding character, a modern international and Olympic sport and one of the greatest Martial Arts in the world. Taekwondo training develops physical and mental discipline. It is so much more than a mere fighting system. Its practice is intended to have a beneficial effect upon the students character and therefore his/her attitude is one of the most important factors in whether training will be successful or not. The serious student who listens to instructions, practices that which is shown and respects his/her colleagues will progress further.
