What is Taekwon-Do?

We share this documentary from another school as it provides a real sense of the practice and spirit of Taekwon-Do

Translated from Korean – Taekwon-Do means:

– Tae – “to jump, kick or smash with the foot.”

– Kwon – “to punch, strike or smash with the fist.”

– Do – “art, method, or way.”

In short it is the most powerful system of self-defence ever devised.

To the Korean people Taekwon-Do is more than a mere use of skilled movements. It also implies a way of life with a strong sway toward the more philosophical side, particularly in instilling a concept and spirit of self-imposed discipline and an ideal of noble moral re-armament.

In these days of violence and intimidation which plague our modern society, Taekwon-Do enables the weak to possess a fine weapon with which to defend themselves. However, when wrongly applied, it can also be very dangerous.
