What is TaeKwonDo?
TaeKwonDo is the martial art through which one can develop proficiency in self-defense in a relatively short time. It is the art of self defense that has been scientifically calculated for maximum efficiency of motion and therefore proven to be highly effective for self defense. With sufficient practice, the entire body of the practitioner becomes a weapon. When this level is achieved, quick
reaction becomes second nature and true sense of self-confidence is attained.
Why is TaeKwonDo So
Popular?
TaeKwonDo has endured for centuries and is today experiencing extremely rapid growth because it offers a multitude of benefits that can be enjoyed by all people regardless of age, sex, or culture. Today, TaeKwonDo is being taught and practiced in over 140 countries.
TaeKwonDo, The
Ultimate Fitness
Many, if not most, people practice TaeKwonDo primarily because it is the most complete of exercises. TaeKwonDo promotes the strength and coordination of the whole body, as well as providing maximum aerobic fitness and flexibility. In one hour and 15 minutes of a TaeKwonDo class, you will get the equivalent of 45 minutes of aerobics, 45 minutes of calisthenics, and the stretch of 45 minutes of yoga, plus the most effective means of self defense.
Fitness Of Mind As
Well As Body
The tremendous physical training is only part of the ultimate goal of TaeKwonDo training. The true focus is on the harnessing of human potential, the power each of us possess but rarely ever tap. If TaeKwonDo is to be called an art of self defense, then its goal is best described in this manner: the best self defense is that of a serene, self-contained person, at peace with himself and the world around him.
This type of personal development emphasizes but is not limited to the development of mental discipline, emotional self-restraint and a philosophy of kindness, humility and strong moral character. One who has mastered TaeKwonDo is a powerful but gentle individual.
“Knowledge in the brain, honesty in the heart, and strength in the body” is a motto that martial artists around the world share. TaeKwonDo’s quest is to spread its logic, goodness, and philosophy for the cause of world peace.
