Tae Kwon Do
Although Tae Kwon Do was first developed over 20 centuries ago in Korea, it was not officially recognised as a system of self-defence until the 1950s when a group of leading Korean martial artists unified their various art forms under a single style of hand and feet fighting. They named this martial art Tae Kwon Do, and, in the last 30 years, have developed it into one of the most effective styles of unarmed self-defence.
Tae Kwon Do is a free-fighting combat sport where an individual uses their hands and feet to repel an opponent. Tae kwon do literally means the "way of kicking and punching". It consists of sharp, strong angular movements with free flowing circular movements to produce a balance of beauty and power. Teakwood’s trademark is the kicking techniques, which are both spectacular and difficult. All the moves are based on the defensive attitude, which was originally developed for self-protection.
Equally important to Tae Kwon Do in being a superior art of self-defence, it is also a mental discipline.
