Taekwondo as traditional martial arts
Taekwondo is a classic Korean martial art famous for its strong kicks, quick movements, and strict training. It has origins in old Korean fighting styles such as Taekkyeon and has been shaped by Japanese karate. Taekwondo was formally established in the mid-20th century and is recognized as Korea’s national martial art.
Taekwondo is more than just fighting; it has a solid philosophy and ethics that focus on respect, honesty, determination, self-discipline, and a strong spirit. Nowadays, it is practiced all over the world as a sport, a way to defend oneself, and an Olympic event, keeping its rich cultural roots while also growing as a contemporary martial art.
