What is Tae Kwon Do?
Tae Kwon Do is the art of Korean unarmed combat based on the ancient form of Korean self-defense, Tae Kyon. The orgins of Tae Kwon Do streach back over 4,000 years to the early Indian and Chinese Monks who traveled the Orien. The Monks practiced a form of self defense, along bandit infested roads, known as Shaolin Ch'uan Fa (Chinese Kempo Boxing or Kung Fu). By the forth century, the martial art techniques arrived in the northern provinces of Korea where local people
evevtually developed the predecessor of Tae Kwon Do, called Tae Kyon.

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 Tae Kwon Do means: "The
art of kicking and punching" or "The art of unarmed combat."
Disciplines of Tae Kwon Do
Tae Kwon Do has four disciplines:
- Forms
- Sparring
- Self-defense
- Break Test
It is the combination of these four disciplines that
make the art of Tae Kwon Do.
Objectives of Tae Kwon Do:
- to develop an appreciation for Tae Kwon Do 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
Tae Kwon Do is primarily a kicking art, often with a greater
emphasis on the sport aspect of the art. Tae Kwon Do 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.
