What is Tae Kwon
Do?
Tae Kwon Do is a Korean Martial art
which has been developed through centuries of Eastern civilization. Today Tae Kwon Do has evolved into not only the
most effective method of weapon less self-defense, but an intricate art, an exciting sport and a method of
maintaining physical fitness.
Many think that breaking boards and
bricks is what taekwon do consist of, but this is an entirely mistaken concept. Demonstrations displaying such
feats merely show the power and speed the human body is capable of utilizing through Tae Kwon Do
training.
Tremendous skill and control are required in Tae Kwon Do. While blocking, kicking
and punching techniques all contribute to making taekwondo one of the most exciting and competitive sports, its challenge lies in the adept use of techniques without
having any actual body contact. Complete control over punching and kicking
movements is paramount in stopping just centimeters short of the opponent.
Through the coordination of control, balance and technique in the performance of
hyungs (patterns), Tae Kwon Do is regarded as a beautiful and highly skilled martial art. It is also one of the
most all-around methods of physical fitness since it utilizes every single muscle of the body and is considered the
ultimate in unarmed self-defense.
In Korea, the Presidential Protective Forces are all trained in Tae Kwon Do and
several other countries are adopting it into the training programs of their protective forces as
well.
