 What's the Taekwondo? |
 Taekwondo is a martial art and an Olympic sport that, without the use of weapons, teaches the practitioners techniques for defense and attack, in addition to guiding them to the true path of life. Taekwondo, translated literally, means the "Art of Hand and Foot Fighting". The development of Taekwondo can be traced back to about 2,000 years ago to the country known as Korea today. At that time, Taekwondo was known as Taekyon or Subak, and was widespread as basic training for the martial arts. In the 20th century, with the Japanese occupation of Korea, martial art instruction was forbidden. However, various types of Korean martial arts continued to be popular as physical and spiritual practices. In 1955, 10 years after the liberation of Korea, the various Korean martial art styles were united into one single style, which was known as "Taekwondo".
Taekwondo consists of 10 grades for Color Belts and 10 levels for Black Belts: starting from white belt, then white-yellow, yellow, yellow-green, green, green-blue, blue, blue-red, red, red-black belt, and finally, black belt, which is further divided into 10 dans. 6th dans and above black belts can become an International Master Instructor and Examiner. The prime objectives of Taekwondo is to prepare you mentally and physically to cope with any problem you may come across; to increase your level of fitness, co-ordination and self control; to put you in contact with people who have similar interests and ambitions; to help promote and popularize the Art and sport of Taekwondo; and to benefit the community at large. Taekwondo also has a great effect on children's growth and development, youths' and elders' physical fitness, and women's health and beauty. It is designed to develop control of all parts of the body and allow flexibility in all joints. It also helps to relieve fatigue and stress, increased by modern day civilization. One misunderstanding of Taekwondo is that it is hard to learn. It is not the case at all! Everyone is eligible! It just takes effort, concentration and good honest sweat. Quality instruction combined with a strong desire and regular training will accomplish this goal.
