About the Business
The roots of Taekwondo can be traced back over thousands of years, however its name did not come into use until the 1950s.
Traditional Technique is where the ‘art' in martial art becomes apparent. Students learn the formal way of performing blocks, kicks and strikes, and Patterns (also known as Taegeuks or Poomsae) are a major feature of this part of Taekwondo. Self Defence utilises all the moves you have learned in traditional, but in a practical and fluid way. Finally, there is sparring. Taekwondo became an Olympic sport at the Seoul Olympics in 1988 and this aspect is almost entirely footwork and kicking. As a student progresses through the belt colours (white, yellow, green, blue, red, black), he or she is gradually introduced to more complex syllabus, at a pace suitable to them. All classes (apart from the Elite Team classes which are entirely sparring) cover a mix of each aspect of Taekwondo to ensure the student gains a rounded knowledge of the martial art.
