What Is Taekwondo?

Taekwondo is one of the most systematic and scientific Korean traditional martial arts, that teaches more than physical fighting skills. It is a discipline that shows ways of enhancing our spirit and life through training our body and mind. Today, it has become a global sport that has gained an international reputation, and stands among the official games in the Olympics.

Taekwondo is much more than just kicking and punching. It is designed to be an enjoyable and non-violent art system of  physical and mental disciplining. It’s challenging and, best of all, it’s fun! Students learn practical self-defense skills as they increase their strength, endurance, coordination and flexibility. Along with helping you lose weight and get in great shape, studying Taekwondo can reduce stress and help you learn to focus your thoughts and energy, not only on the training floor but in everyday life. As students advance they learn how to overcome weaknesses and develop new strengths. More advanced students learn how to control the energy born of a physical confrontation. They are then able to apply these same principles to control real conflicts before they become physical.

Tenets of Taekwondo

Taekwondo not only enhances the body and mind but can also uplift the spirit through practicing the philosophies stressed by the Tenets of Taekwondo.

• Courtesy - Respect, manners: always treat others as you would like to be treated.

• Integrity - Be honest with yourself. Always stand for and do what you know is right.

• Self-Control - Focus your thoughts; control your emotions, your body and your physical and mental reactions.

• Perseverance - Keep working toward reaching your goals and obtaining your dreams no matter how hard or far away they seem. Never give up!

• Indomitable Spirit - Unbeatable spirit. If you get knocked down, either mentally or physically, always get back on your feet.
