TAE KWON DO

Taekwondo is a Korean martial art and combat sport . Taekwondo is the national sport of South Korea. It is also regarded as the world's most popular martial art in terms of number of practitioners, and sparring. In Korean tae means feet or kicking; kwon means hands or striking; and do means art, path, way, or method. Hence, taekwondo is loosely translated as the way of the foot and fist.

Taekwondo is famed for its use of kicking techniques,especially which distinguishes it from martial arts such as karate or southern styles of kung fu. The rationale is that the leg is the longest and strongest weapon a martial artist has, and kicks thus have the greatest potential to execute powerful strikes without successful retaliation.

Taekwondo as a sport and exercise is popular with people of both sexes and of many ages. Physically, Taekwondo develops strength, speed, balance, flexibility, and stamina. An example of the union of mental and physical discipline is the breaking of boards, which requires both physical mastery of the technique and the concentration to focus one's strength.

A Taekwondo student typically wears a uniform (dobok), often white but sometimes black, with a belt (tti) tied around the waist. The belt indicates the student's rank. The school or place where instruction is given is called the dojang.

Our Belt system is White, Yellow, Green, Blue, Red, Brown and Black.
