What is TaeKwon-Do?
TaeKwon-Do is a version of unarmed combat designed for the purpose of self-defense. It is the scientific use of the body in the method of self-defense. It was introduce to the world by the founder, the Father of TaeKwon-Do, General Choi Hong Hi (1918-2002) in 1955.
Though it is a martial art, its discipline, technique and mental training are the mortar for building a strong sense of justice, fortitude, humility and resolve. It is this mental conditioning that separates the true practitioner from the sensationalist, content with mastering only the fighting aspects of the art. That is one of the reasons that TaeKwon-Do is called an art of self-defense. It also implies a way of thinking and life, particularly in instilling a concept and spirit of strike self-imposed discipline and an ideal of noble moral rearmament.
Translated literally "Tae" stands for kick or smash with the foot. "Kwon" denotes the fist, chiefly to punch or destroy with the hand or fist. "Do" means an art or way, the right way build and paved by the saints and sages in the past. Thus taken collectively "TaeKwon-Do" indicates the mental training and the techniques of unarmed combat for self-defense, involving the skilled application of punches, kicks, blocks and dodges with bare hands and feet to the rapid destruction of the moving opponent or opponents.
