Why Tae Kwon Do?
Tae Kwon Do is structured, energetic and rewarding. It helps students build fitness, confidence, coordination, focus and self-discipline in a friendly martial arts environment.
The Korean art of the foot and fist
What actually is Tae Kwon Do?
Tae Kwon Do is a Korean martial art best known for its powerful kicking techniques, fast hand techniques and disciplined approach to training. It combines physical skill with concentration, control and steady progression.
More than kicking
Training includes kicks, punches and other hand techniques, blocks, stances, patterns, controlled sparring and self-defence. Students learn how to move with balance and control, how to generate power correctly, and how individual techniques fit together.
You do not need to arrive already strong, flexible or coordinated. Those are things Tae Kwon Do training is designed to develop.
What does the name mean?
Tae–refers to the foot and techniques performed with the feet.
Kwon–refers to the hand or fist and techniques performed with the hands.
Do–means the way, art or discipline.
Together, Tae Kwon Do is commonly translated as “the way of the foot and fist.”
The physical techniques are only part of it. Regular training also develops concentration, perseverance, self-control, confidence and respect — qualities that become increasingly important as students progress through the grades.
A practical way to get fitter.
Tae Kwon Do training uses movement, kicking, stretching, pad work and structured practice to build strength, stamina, balance and flexibility. You do not need to be fit before you start — training helps you build that over time.
