What is TaeKwonDo?

TaeKwonDo was developed more than 2000 years ago in Korea; its main feature is that it is a free fighting combat art using the hands and feet to repel an opponent. Since it was developed as a form of self-defense all it's activities are based on a defensive spirit. It allows the practitioner to face any opponent, but forbids unfair assault or unnecessary use of force. Therefore TaeKwonDo's strength can be used only for the purpose of self-defense and not as means of attacking others.

The practice of TaeKwonDo gives the individual an attitude of modesty and generosity which virtues are fundamentally based on self-confidence. It also develops physical fitness, concentration, self-discipline, inner peace and harmony with others, control of mind and body, and its techniques allow you to achieve maximum effect with minimum expenditure of energy.

In the year 2000 the first official Olympic medals were handed out making TaeKwonDo an official Olympic Sport adding to its mass appeal making it the number 2 sport in the world next to soccer. The benefits to TaeKwonDo are endless to children and adults alike, with the most important being CONFIDENCE.
