Tae Kwon
Do is a modern
martial art, well known all around the world for it's lightning fast,
often high, spectacular spin kicks. Tae Kwon Do has been around for
many years, originally founded in Korea. It translates to "the are of
punching and kicking", or the "art of unarmed combat".
The
martial art Tae Kwon Do has four disciplines - patterns, self defense,
break test, and sparring. It isn't just one of these disciplines that
make up the art, but a combination of them. All 4 of them are
important, especially for those looking to advance in belt ranking. To
advance in a belt, there are certain tests that students need to pass.
One
of the great
things about Tae Kwon Do is the fact that there are no age limits, and
it can easily be learned by young children. Children of all ages
will
quickly learn fast reactions playing games, learn respect, and they
will also learn their abilities as well as their disabilities.
The
competitions however, are a bit different for children than they are
for the adults. Even though the participants will wear full body
protection, children can only kick and punch to the body, as no shots
to the head are allowed. The competitions in Tae Kwon Do is what makes
the art so very dominating. A majority of students that practice this
martial art do so because of the competitions.
The
competitions can
be very exciting to watch, as they can get very competitive. Contrary
to what many may think, the competitions aren't deadly, nor are they
anywhere close to being as dangerous as Muay
Thai
fights. Competitors will wear full protection, including head gear. For
adults, kicks to the head are allowed, although a majority of stylists
can block them before they make impact.
In
order to
participate in the competitions, stylists will need to have a certain
level of experience. It can take years to become good enough,
especially for those who win. Competitions are a great way to learn,
especially if there are participating fighters from other areas of the
world. The skill of a stylist is a very important factor with the
competitions and tournaments. If you have a black belt fighter going
against a white belt - the results will normally be quite obvious.
All
things aside, the art of Tae Kwon Do is a great martial art. Stylists
can learn kicking, punching, blocking, and the spectacular movements
the art is known for. Tae
Kwon Do is practiced all around the world,
meaning that there are just as many places to learn this art as there
are Karate. For
an art that won't disappoint - Tae Kwon Do teaches self defense and a
whole lot more.
