Taekwondo is a Korean martial art that combines kicking, striking, falling, blocking and dodging techniques. It was developed during the 1940s and 1950s as a synthesis of indigenous Korean fighting styles, such as gwonbeop and subak, and foreign martial arts, particularly karate. The term taekwondo translates as “art of hand and foot”.
Tae Kwon Do is one of the most physical and demanding forms of martial arts. It requires a high level of physical fitness, as well as an ability to concentrate under pressure and develop jiptjung, or power gathering. It also stresses correct breathing, and teaches students to use their strength as a weapon rather than a blunt instrument.
The art also emphasizes the development of reaction force, coordination, balance and concentration. Its principles are based on the design of the human body; for example, as a limb is brought forward in a strike, other parts of the body are drawn back to provide power.
A student’s progress is recorded by the color and stripe of his or her belt. In taekwondo, the rank of geup (white) is awarded upon passing an introductory course of training. Practitioners advancing to the rank of dan (black) are then called black belts. The rank of poom (half-red, half-black) is awarded to practitioners under age 15 who have passed dan-level tests, and will automatically transition to an equivalent dan ranking at the age of 15.
Children are not as subjected to stress in their daily lives as adults, but training in taekwondo will certainly elevate their strength over time. The art also teaches them how to set goals and work toward achieving them, and it gives them a strong competitive spirit that can be applied to other areas of their life.
