Taekwon-Do, a Korean martial art that originated over 2000 years ago, is renowned for its use of the body in self-defence. The word “TAE” translates to jumping, kicking, or smashing with the foot, "KWON” refers to punching or destroying with the hand or fist, and “DO” represents art, way, or method. With its emphasis on physical and mental training, Taekwon-Do has gained recognition as one of the most effective forms of self-defence, as well as a means of personal development.
Aside from self-defence skills, Taekwon-Do also offers numerous benefits such as increased confidence, motivation, fitness, weight loss, and a sense of personal achievement. The practise of Taekwon-Do extends beyond physical exercises, focusing on the development of noble moral values and the ability to cope with the stresses of everyday life. The tenets of Taekwon-Do play a significant role in guiding students towards personal growth and character building.
