WHAT IS TAE KWON DO?
It is a form of unarmed combat designed for the purpose of self-defense. Tae
Kwon Do is much more than just an efficient system for defending against attackers. It is
also a way of life.

TAE = FOOT KWON = HAND DO = A WAY OF LI FE

The true martial artist must be committed to following the ethics, called tenets. In Tae Kwon Do these are: Courtesy, Integrity, Perseverance, Self-Control, and Indomitable Spirit.

Courtesy is showing respect for others. Integrity is keeping your word and being
trustworthy. Perseverance is always striving to do your best, as in learning a technique.
You may not be able to perform the movement immediately, but with practice and patience
it will come to you. Self-Control is maintaining your temper and actions in stressful
situations. Indomitable Spirit, like Perseverance, is represented by never giving up, no
matter what you may be facing.

The practice of Tae Kwon Do can help you develop power, strength, flexibility, and
endurance. Once you understand and develop the fundamentals of Tae Kwon Do, your workouts
will become more aerobic and your overall health will improve.
