Taekwondo is a martial art and a sport that teaches practitioners techniques for defense and offense without using weapons. Regardless of age or sex, Taekwondo teaches practitioners to use their hands and feet in any defensive situation.
The development of Taekwondo can be traced back 2,000 years ago in Korea. Taekwondo
literally means the "hand," "foot," and "way of life." Through rigorous training, Taekwondo enables the student to defend himself and build self-confidence.
A self-confident person is honest and generous. The development of physical and mental self-confidence is beneficial not only to the individual, but to their family, community, and the country.
The tenets of Taekwondo teach us courtesy, integrity, perseverance, self-control, and the indomitable spirit. The Olympic spirit seeks to create a way of life based on the joy of accomplishment, the value of a good example, and respect for ethical principals.
