Tae Kwon Do is the art and sport of unarmed combat for self-defense,
using kicks, punches and blocks to defeat your opponent. It is well
known for its jumping and spinning kicks, which have no equal in
either power or technique.
Korean martial arts began more than 2,000 years ago and have evolved
into the modern day fighting techniques called Tae Kwon Do. Today,
Tae Kwon Do has followers and
students throughout the world and is
considered one of the most effective means of unarmed
self-defense. Tae Kwon Do
training includes specific movements and techniques which develop
required skills in the student. These movements and techniques must
be practiced on a regular basis in order to achieve a high level of
proficiency. Among the most important skills the student must
develop and maintain are those forms, or hyungs, which include all
basic techniques and stances
utilized in Tae Kwon Do. These forms, or hyungs, develop and require
of the practitioner discipline,
concentration, and dedication.
