 What is Taekwondo? 

Taekwondo (Tae - Kwon - Do) is the Korean martial art. It has been around approximately 5,000 years and has now developed to be the biggest and most popular martial art with over 75,000,000 active participants in over 200 different countries. In Australia it was originally know as Korean Karate, but around the early 70's we learned to call it Taekwondo. In 1988 Taekwondo was reconized as an Olympic Demonstration Sport. Taekwondo became an official sparring event at the 2000 Sydney, Olympic Games. Now has the highest degree of government recognition of any martial art.

Taekwondo is a Korean word meaning "the way of the hand and foot" 

 Taekwondo has four main areas that it specialises in:

1) Olympic Style Sparring (Fighting)

2) Poomsae

3) Self Defence

4) Demonstration/Breaking
