What is Taekwondo?
Taekwondo is a modern martial art, characterized
by its fast, high and spinning kicks. There are multiple interpretations of the
name Taekwondo. Taekwondo is often translated as 'the way of hand and foot.'
Tae = 'Foot' or 'to kick'
or 'to jump'
K'won =
'Fist' or 'to strike or block with hand'
Do = 'The way of' or 'art'
|
Put this together and Taekwondo means: "The
art of kicking and punching" or "The art of unarmed combat."
Disciplines of Taekwondo
Taekwondo has four disciplines:
- Forms
- Sparring
- Self-defense
- Break Test
It is the combination of these four disciplines that
make the art of Taekwondo.
Objectives of Taekwondo:
- to develop an appreciation for Taekwondo as a sport and an art
- to achieve physical fitness through positive participation
- to improve mental discipline and emotional equanimity
- to learn self-defense skills
- to develop a sense of responsibility for one self and
others
Taekwondo is primarily a kicking art, often with a greater
emphasis on the sport aspect of the art. Taekwondo stylists tend to fight at an
extended range, and keep opponents away with their feet. It is a hard/soft,
external, fairly linear style and is known for being very powerful. There is a
lot of competition work in many dojongs. Training tends to emphasize sparring,
but forms, and the basics are very important as well.
