What is Taekwondo?
Of the many styles of martial arts being taught and practised around the globe nowadays, taekwondo, loosely translating to ‘the way of the hand and foot’, remains one of the most popular. This Korean martial art focuses on kicking and striking techniques drawn from various other influences, such as Subak, Taekkyeon and Okinawan karate.
While it is a popular form of exercise and fitness, taekwondo focuses on moral discipline and respect towards authority, making it an ideal after-school activity for children and an excellent option for anyone looking for a weapon-free way to protect themselves.
Visit HEENAN TAEKWONDO – PAKENHAM SCHOOL to start your journey to reaping a rich, rewarding experience from this ancient art.
Don’t look for a weapon. Become one!
