What is Tae Kwon Do?

Tae Kwon Do is a traditional Korean martial art with origins dating back to Korea’s early Kokooryo Kingdom.  While the art includes both hand and leg techniques, it is widely known for its many kicking combinations, which allow for greater reach and more power.  Tae Kwon Do provides students the ability to disable their opponents using a combination of self defense and combat techniques.  The motions are fluid and follow the design of the body creating more offensive and defensive movements.  Tae Kwon Do students will experience an improvement in their flexibility, balance, and overall coordination.  Weight loss and physical fitness are among a number of other outstanding benefits beyond the obvious physical advantages that Tae Kwon Do offers students, it is also ideal for mental conditioning.

Taekwondo and the Olympic Games
The object of Taekwondo is to land kicks and punches on your opponent’s scoring zones: one point is awarded for a valid kick or punch to the torso, two points for a valid spinning kick, three points for a valid kick to the head and four points for a turning kick to the head.

The action takes place inside an 8m x 8m zone called a court, with each contest made up of three two-minute rounds. Over their standard white uniform, known as a ‘Dobok’, competitors wear colored protective equipment. The competitor wearing blue is referred to as ‘Chung’, while the competitor in red is ‘Hong’.
