TaeKwon-Do Is...

The Korean art and science of self-defense and physical fitness. It is considered also to be the most modern art of self-defense in existence.

Translated from Korean "Tae" literally means foot, "Kwon" a fist, and "Do" the way. Thus taken collectively, TaeKwon-Do comprises an unarmed combat for self-defense utilizing the skilled application of punches, strikes, kicks and blocks with the hands and feet. All of the basic movements in this art of self-defense are intended to strengthen and coordinate each part of the body, so that every hand and foot technique has incredible power and speed. Therefore this art of self-defense is intended to protect one from attack of an enemy and help gain immunity to physical and mental illness. Anyone learning this art from a qualified instructor gains the peace of mind which all mankind seeks on earth.

TaeKwon-Do, as well as being a Martial Art, is also recognized as one of the most effective methods for improving health, physical fitness, weight control, flexibility, balance, agility and poise.

TaeKwon-Do is an exact system of symmetrical exercises designed for unarmed self-defense and counter-attack. The significance of this definition, however, is only physical and superficial, for TaeKwon-Do means, more importantly, a way of life. Thus, self-control, kindness and humility must accompany physical strength and skill. TaeKwon-Do training instills the desire to handle confrontation without violence except when the safety of oneself or others in ones care is in jeopardy. When physical contact is unavoidable, TaeKwon-Do assures the safety of the student while minimizing injury to the attacker.
