About Taekwondo


 Taekwondo is the most popular sport in Korea. Some teachers teach their child taekwondo, and it’s a SPORT. If it’s NOT a food. Then why are we learning? It’s a sport. I will teach you a couple of taekwondo.

 When did Taekwondo STARTED?


 We actually don't know well when taekwondo started but, scientist believed taekwondo started 1500 years ago. pretty long. Did you know peoples in long ago called taekwondo also as Taekyon and Subak. Taekwondo school started at 1945~1960.

 How to play TAEKWONDO?

 Well, everyone will be confused about this question. I could ONLY teach you 4things.
    The FIRST one is called AP CHAGI(front kick), that you Slide your left foot forward. Change your guard so your right foot leads and bring your right knee up. Your leg should form a square. This is called a chamber. Straighten your leg and snap your foot out, higher than your face. Pull the kick back and set your foot down.

    The next one is Dollyo chagi (Roundhouse kick): Change your guard and bring your right knee up and across your body. Twist on your supporting foot and kick horizontally across the front of your body. Be sure to snap your foot.

    The third one is Jireugi (Standard punch): Make a fist and thrust it forward into your opponent's solar plexus, chest or other target areas.

    The LAST one that I’m gonna tell you is Harai-goshi (Shoulder throw): Keep a firm grip on your opponent's lapel as you step across and begin to wind in. Bend your knees and pull on his lapel as you roll him straight over your back.

 What is Taekwondo TIPS?


  TIPS: When taekwondo classes start with a brief warm up for example Jogging, followed by stretching. We do it because cold muscles could stretch less
well. In fact, some taekwondo classes do stretching, to take advantage of the fact that the muscles are completely warmed up at that point.

 Why do PLAY taekwondo?

Because long away ago our people thought ‘why don't WE have a sport? And can we make it?’ so they thought and thought and thought… Then they made our KOREA SPORT taekwondo. What is similar to taekwondo? First when I answer you what do YOU think? The most nearest land? Yeah! Its Japan. Japan ruled Korea. So the most similar sport is is Japan that is called Karate.
