About Taekwon-do
In historical terms, Taekwon-do is relatively new, being founded by General Choi Hong Hi on 11th April 1955. The single name of Taekwon-do unified a number of ancient Korean martial arts and since then has become recognised world wide.
Taekwondo is the ideal martial art for a modern world, incorporating self-defense and fitness aspects. It also qualifies as a sport, with competitions for those interested, and training to the highest standard. No formal qualifications are needed to join; neither is age a barrier - from about 3 years old upwards. All students are bound by the tenets of Taekwon-do:
Courtesy
Integrity
Perseverance
Self Control
Indomitable Spirit
Typically, Taekwon-do for a student encompasses learning patterns (set movements created by General Choi), free sparring, set sparring, power techniques and learning Korean terminology. This gives students a wide range of activities to look forward to and keeps classes varied and fun.
