Taekwon-Do is an art that implies a way of thinking
in life, and particularly in instilling moral civilization and generating
the power for justice. Taekwon-Do is also known as one of the best means
of developing and enhancing the emotional, perceptual and psychological
characteristics that enable the younger generation, regardless of age,
social status or sex, to effectively learn and participate in the social
demands of his peers.
Every movement of Taekwon-Do is scientifically designed
with specific purpose and a skilful instructor may, therefore, develop
in the student a belief that success is possible for anyone.
Constant repetition teaches patience and the resolve
to overcome any difficulty. The tremendous power generated from one's
body develops the self-confidence to meet any opponent, at any place,
and in any situation. Sparring teaches humility, courage, alertness and
accuracy, adaptability as well as self-control.
Patterns teach flexibility, grace, balance and coordination,
while the fundamental exercises develop precision and teaches the method,
principle, imagination and purpose. Eventually, this training permeates
every conscious and subconscious action of the student.
