The art of Taekwondo originated in Korea and has been practiced for centuries. “Tae” directly translated means to kick or strike with the feet. “Kwon” means to punch or strike with the empty hand. “Do” is the Art or the Way.
However, there is more to Taekwondo than just the use of skilled techniques. It is a way to develop your body, spirit and mind to the highest possible degree.
There is no doubt that Taekwondo can be extremely powerful, nevertheless, if it is used correctly it encourages non-violence and teaches peace. On a strictly physical level, one can hone the body to perfection by incorporating the mind, body and spirit. It brings grace and harmony in movement that is not only beautiful to watch, but, also, brings about a true sense of completeness that can never be surpassed. There is so much to be gained from the physical discipline involved if the art is practiced correctly and in the way it was originally intended to be applied.
This wonderful martial art also develops inner strength and confidence through both mental and self-control. Taekwondo is intended to become a “Way of Life” for all who practice it and its benefits should never be underestimated.
The road to mastery of this martial art is long and difficult; however, any journey of a thousand miles begins with just one step. We invite you to take the first step of your journey with us.
