Additional Information
Speed, agility and the kicking skills of a mule are just some of the boxes you might be ticking if you were checking off some of the benifits of Tae Kwon Do. Your mentality is also crucial. But don't worry. It is a sport anyone can take up. So what does it take to be the best and why is it such a great sport - even if Olympic stardom is not on your agenda?
Body Design
Taekwondo is based around a dazzling combination of kicking techniques, and out-foxing your opponent with a variety of defensive and punching moves. What does taekwondo mean? It is the art of hand and foot fighting TAE - kick or smash with the feet KWON - fist or to punch DO - art or way The better you can put these technical combinations together, the better your performances. Agility and flexibility will help you achieve all of this. You have to move across the floor quickly and kick your legs at the same time. It is not easy. And the good news? These techniques do not rely on your physical strength or size so it is a sport available to anyone.
Decision Making
When you are on that mat, you have to make decisions under pressure. If you are getting close to winning a medal in a competition, you are drawing after three rounds and it is down to sudden death, the pressure can be immense. You have to be able to handle that and be free in mind and be instinctive to still make the right moves.
