Taekwondo is the name of the martial art turned modern
international sport which has been independently developed
over about 20 centuries in Korea. The main feature of
Taekwondo is that it is free-fighting combat sport using
bare hands and feet to repel an opponent.

All of its activities are based on defensive spirit since
Taekwondo was developed as a defense against enemy attacks.
In old days people living simple lives lacked physical
fitness and their bodies became bent in their old age.
Taekwondo also served to improve health, physical fitness
and poise of the people practicing it.

Our belief is that Taekwondo-trained men are self-
confident, not only in physical aspects but also in their
mental discipline, because they have developed superior
techniques for personal entire body is a weapon, and he is
easily able to attack and beat off an aggressor with hands,
fists, elbows, knees, feet or any other part of his body.

The most important fact about Taekwondo as a martial art
sport is that it is not only a superior art of self-
defense, but is adds remarkable bon sense to its
practitioners. Self-confidence makes people generous in
their attitudes toward weaker people. They can stand
equally against any opponent, but their code forbids unfair
assaults or unnecessary use if force. The practice of
Taekwondo gives an individual the mental attitude of
modesty. The virtues of modesty and generosity are
fundamentally based on self-confidence.
