Tae Kwon Do: Tae- Kicking, Kwon-Striking with fist, Do- The Way

Tae Kwon Do is an action philosophy, the Korean art of self-defense.  However, it is much more than kicking and punching.  It is designed as a non-violent art system of entire body practice and way of life.  Through Tae Kwon Do, all practitioners benefit-
     *  Physically: by developing good coordination and a strong body
     *  Mentally: by building self confidence, gaining good judgement and developing a sound mind
     *  Philosophically: by learning to respect others, be honest and always stand by the weak
Thus it is a guide for the formation of outstanding character, a modern world sport and a philosophy. 

The origin of Tae Kwon Do goes back to the early days of human existence on earth.  No matter where they lived, people had to develop personal skills in fighting in order to obtain food and defend themselves against enemies, including wild animals.  Tae Kwon Do, known as the oldest self defense art in the world, is recorded in the Kogooryo Dynasty founded in 37 B.C. in the northern part of the Korean Peninsula.  Tae Kwon Do developed independently in Korea and in recent years has become the most respected sport in Korea.  Tae Kwon Do is now practiced in over 100 countries.
