Taekwondo
is a martial art form which originated from Korea. Taekwondo literally
means "the way of hands and feet". Taekwondo is known for its
powerful kicks. Taekwondo offers a total fitness program which integrates
the mind, body, and spirit.
It is a free-fighting combat sport using the bare hands and feet. It
consists of sharp strong movements and improves the student's balance
and agility. Taekwondo's trademark is its kicking techniques, but overall,
it is a very complete system of self defense and personal improvement.
Today, Taekwondo is the most recognized Korean Martial Art. Taekwondo
first came to be recognized as a system of self-defense in the 1950's.
The popularity for Taekwondo is not only here in the U.S, but internationally
as well. Its evolution and development as an international amateur sport
have grown very rapidly.
