Why Study Taekwondo?
Like other classic martial arts, taekwondo stresses proper attitudes and the balance between mind and body. Taekwondo is the way of hand and foot fighting for self defense. It originated in Korea, but is now practiced in enough countries (over 120) that it has become a world martial art derived from Korea, as opposed to a Korean martial art. It is also scheduled to become a full medal sport in the 2000 Olympic Games. It is distinguishable from other “empty hand” martial arts by its extensive use of the legs for kicking. This makes it a superb conditioning art and great cross- trainer. You will get in great physical condition, become much more flexible, and be capable of fast and balanced striking movements with your hands and feet. Taekwondo stresses the art (or way) of a classic martial art. It offers the rigorous demonstrable results of a science and the physical and mental training of a top athlete, tailored to your specific starting condition and goals.
