The name certainly translates as the way of the foot and the fist – the art of kick, punching and unarmed combat.
Taekwondo is a Korean martial art that focuses on head-hight kicks, jumping and spinning, and fast kicking techniques. This sport has its roots in various Korean forms of martial arts stretching back more than 2000 years.
“Tae” intends to break or attack with the foot.
“Kwon” means to break with the fist.
“Do” interprets as the art or way.
Taekwondo concentrates on combining combat techniques and self-defence and is an excellent form of exercise mixed with fun as an art.
As a sport, it has over 70 million practitioners across the world. It originates from South Korea, where the world governing body, the World Taekwondo (WT), is currently based.
In Taekwondo, attacking and defensive movements, including punching, kicking and blocking techniques, and differing stances, are done in a set series and are referred to as Poomsae. These basic movements bring together all the martial art skills in a graceful yet powerful manner.
Poomsae forms are a significant part of Taekwondo’s promotion process, and practitioners must demonstrate a good understanding of the forms before they can progress to the next grade. For more information about Taekwondo and the basics, please follow the link here.

All good martial artists and Taekwondo practitioners live by the code of ethics. They are expected to continuously maintain the Five Tenets of Taekwondo: etiquette, modesty, perseverance, self-control, and indomitable spirit.
The five tenets guide a student’s behaviour – inside and outside the dojang. As a Taekwondo Instructor, it is my commitment to preserving these principles.
