TaeKwonDo is one of the world’s most commonly practiced martial arts, blending combat techniques, self-defense, sport, exercise, entertainment and philosophy into an obtainable and rewarding study. TaeKwonDo is probably most famous for its employment of kicking techniques, using the leg as the strongest weapon a martial artist has. TaeKwonDo is a Korean martial art, the national sport of South Korea and has been an Olympic event since 2000.
In Korean, tae means “to strike or break with foot”; kwon means “to strike or break with fist”; and do means “way” or “method”; so (TaeKwonDo) is loosely translated as “the way of the foot and fist” or “the way of kicking and punching”.
The five core principles of TaeKwonDo:
Courtesy
Integrity
Perseverance
Self-Control
Indomitable Sprit
These principles reflect that TaeKwonDo is as much mental discipline as it is physical discipline.
In TaeKwonDo a student can expect to develop improved awareness, confidence, focus, discipline, memory, and respect in addition to the physical benefits of a challenging and balanced workout. TaeKwonDo focuses on your development and growth making it a good match for men and women of all ages. Pak’s Academy even has a Tiger Tots program providing TaeKwonDo instruction to children as young as 3 years old.
