Tae Kwon Do as an Art
Through the coordination of control, balance, and
technique in Tae Kwon Do forms, Tae Kwon Do is
regarded as a beautiful and highly skilled Oriental
Art. Through the demonstration of Tae Kwon Do
forms, you will see the skill and technique required
to produce a perfect form (Hyung).
Tae Kwon Do as a Sport
As a sport, Tae Kwon Do is rapidly taking its place in
the world sports milieu. Blocking, kicking, and
punching techniques all contribute to making Tae
Kwon Do one of the most exciting competitive
sports. Tremendous skill and control are required in
Tae Kwon Do. Its challenge lies in the adept use of
the techniques, yet without having any heavy body
contact. Because of this refrain from bodily contact,
contrary to popular belief, injuries are infrequent and
minor, which makes Tae Kwon Do safer than most
other sports.
Tae Kwon Do for Self Defense
Tae Kwon Do is considered the ultimate in unarmed
self defense because of the powerful technique that
is involved. In Korea, The Presidential Protective
Forces are all trained in Tae Kwon Do. Now many
other countries are adopting Tae Kwon Do into the
training of their Protective forces.
