What is Tae Kwon Do?

David Shadden, breaking a board with a Hook Kick during a recent St. Jude's fundraiserIt is an action philosophy, the Korean art of self-defense. Literally translated, it means "foot, hand, art". However, there is much more than kicking and punching. It is designed as a non-violent art system of entire body practice and a way of life. It includes physical and mental discipline with a deep philosophy. Through practicing Tae Kwon Do, all practicioners can benefit:

  • Physically: By developing good coordination and a strong body
  • Mentally: By building confidence, gaining good judgement, and developing a sound mind
  • Philosophically: By learning to respect others, help others, and stand by the weak.
