Taekwondo

Black Belt

Taekwondo is the Korean martial art developed nearly two thousand years ago. The name "Taekwondo" translates literally to the way of kicking feet and striking hands.

  • "Tae" refers to feet or lower body, everything below the belt, particularly the legs for running, jumping, strength, power, spinning, and kicking.
  • "Kwon" refers to the torso and is concerned with everything done with the arms and hands for striking and blocking.
  • "Do" means the way and refers to the mind which in turn governs the body.

Together, "Tae, Kwon & Do" form a harmony of mind and body. Today, it is practiced by millions of people worldwide and is one of only two martial art styles to be recognized by the International Olympic Committee as an official sport at the Olympic Games.
