ABOUT TAE KWON DO:
THE ACADEMY OF KOREAN MARTIAL ARTS IN WEATHERFORD, TEXAS
Tae Kwon Do Teaches Respect for God, Country, Family, and Life
It is the ancient and supreme art of self-defense that has been independently developed for about 20 centuries in Korea. It is a system of forms, stances and kicks. It is this prominent use of leg and uniquely powerful kicking techniques that sets Tae Kwon Do apart from all other martial arts systems. The body becomes a weapon but the Tae Kwon Do code forbids unfair assaults or unnecessary use of force.
Traditional Tae Kwon Do is a pathway, or means by which an individual develops the body, the mind, and good moral character. Based on five virtues, Tae Kwon Do is an excellent way to develop self-discipline, self- control, self-esteem and self-confidence. Tae Kwon Do practice involves focus, concentration, self-discovery,self-improvement and spiritual development.
Korea is the original Tae Kwon Do country and here in the U.S. the TKD leadership is growing faster.
