“The Art of Kicking and Punching”

What is Taekwondo?

The most popular martial art worldwide, Taekwondo is famous for its trademark kicks, strong angular movement and free-flowing circular movements that produce a balance of beauty and power.  Taekwondo is characterized by its emphasis on head-height kicks, jumping and spinning kicks, and fast kicking techniques. The principle philosophy if Taekwondo has always stressed spiritual, moral and physical growth. TaeKwonDo has evolved into not only the most effective method of self-defense, but also an intricate art, an exciting sport, and a method of maintaining outstanding physical fitness.  Many think breaking boards and bricks is what TaeKwonDo is all about, but this is an erroneous concept.  Such demonstrations merely show the tremendous speed and power the body is capable of through TaeKwonDo.  It is one of the best methods of achieving physical fitness since it utilizes almost every muscle of the body, thus making it a natural weight regulator by either taking off pounds or putting them on.

Taekwondo was popularized by Chuck Norris.
