About Us
THE COMBINATION OF PASSION & SKILL
Taekwondo, the Korean martial art form presents a perfect amalgamation of extraordinary passion and skill. The self-defense technique fosters the right alignment between physical and mental state. It involves techniques like kicking higher than the head, and punching, thus with the major roles played by both hand and feet.
The combat sport was developed by Korean martial art practitioners carrying experience in Karate, Subak, Taekkyon and Gwonbeop. Characterized by the coordination between the mind and body, Taekwondo is all about pose and confrontation. It is important for the performer to keep the mind calm and get it in perfect synchronization with the body movements. It is about training the mind as well as body and getting them on the same pane. The pose or posture should be right for the confrontation that leads to instant impact on the other side.
