About Taekwon-Do

Taekwon-Do is a Korean martial art form founded by Grand Master General Choi Hong Hi (1918-2002). It is a modern form of self-defence which was developed from other martial arts along with scientific principles allowing techniques to have maximum power and effectiveness.

Taekwon-Do has a wide range of techniques for different situations including defending against single and multiple opponents, on foot and seated as well as against weapons. The martial art is famous for its dynamic kicking techniques which often leads to the misconception of it being a kicking martial art. However, Taekwon-Do also involves techniques of blocks, punches and strikes with the hands.
