What is Taekwondo?
Taekwondo (also known as Tae Kwon Do) is the art of self defense that originated in Korea. It is recognized as one of the oldest forms of martial arts in the world, reaching back over 2,000 years. The name was selected for its appropriate description of the art: Tae (foot), Kwon (hand), Do (art).
Taekwondo is a system of symmetrical body exercises or techniques designed for self defense and counterattack in unarmed combat, making use of the hands and feet as weapons and defenses. However, Taekwondo is not merely a physical skill, it is also a way of thought and life. Through strict discipline, Taekwondo trains both the body and the mind placing great emphasis on the development of moral character. On other words, control of the mind, self discipline, kindness, and humility must accompany the physical grace.
