About Taekwondo
Taekwondo is a nonaggressive system of self-defense and self-discipline that has become one of the world’s most popular and successful martial arts while preserving the culture and traditions of the Korean people and officially developed as a unified style of martial arts in the 1950s. Taekwondo cultivates mental strength as well as physical fitness and teaches students to use knowledge as well as internal power.
