Taekwondo, also know as Tae Kwon Do, is the worlds most popular form of martial arts as so many people practise it. As an Olypmic sport, Taekwondo is very well known and matches consist of punching and kicking.
About Taekwondo Classes
The classes are structured into groups:
- Beginners/intermediates
- Advanced
Beginners learn stretching exercises, the principles of Tae Kwon do and basic kicks, punches and blocks. Intermediate students practise combination movements that require greater concentration. Advanced students continue to define their technique, emphasising control, power and accuracy.
Tae Kwon Do Club Routine
The instructor will encourage you to reach an achievable goal in the main aspects of Tae Kwon-do.
FITNESS - Tae Kwon-do will improve your standard of fitness, ie. 5 press-ups instead of 2, 10 sit-ups instead of what you could do etc.. Your aerobic fitness will also improve from certain aspects of your training which include, for example, striking the pads or circuits within the class.
BELTS - Taking belts and gradings is purely optional. Gradings are every 12 weeks. Each belt is a goal to aim for and will offer you a challenge both mentally and physically. After progressing from the previous belt, you will gain the motivation and encouragement you need to progress even further - maybe even to the ultimate Black Belt!
CONFIDENCE - With training in Tae Kwon-do you will develop the skills to defend yourself. You will be fitter and you will already have achieved something by training in Tae Kwon-do.
COMPETITION - Competitions are purely optional and are split into divisions of your own belt and height (juniors) or weight (seniors). Competitions are held regionally, nationally and internationally.
