WHAT IS TAE KWON DO?

"Tae" means the "Foot", "Kwon" means the "Fist" and "Do" means the "Way". It is one of the most sophisticated self-defence arts from the Orient.

The martial art of Tae Kwon Do allows a participant to use his/her hands and feet to block, retaliate, strike and attack for self-defence purposes. These skills are known to have saved many lives on numerous occasions.

In recent years, Tae Kwon Do has also developed into a modern international amateur sport without sacrificing the martial art spirit and tradition. Tae Kwon Do has about 20 million practitioners in approximately 120 countries around the world. Tae Kwon Do is also an olympic sport.
