What is Taekwondo?

Taekwondo has evolved from a humble folk game and form of unarmed combat known as Subakhi, which was practiced among monks and warriors in the late 4th Century. There are two main styles in Taekwondo: traditional and sports.

Traditional Taekwondo

Teaches fundamental stances, blocks, punches, strikes and kicks with the highly specialised training for competition sparring and poomse (patterns).

Sports Taekwondo

Seeks to combine the influences of traditional Taekwondo with the challenge and excitement of competition and the science behind the development of elite athletes seeking excellence in the sport.
