Taekwondo
Taekwondo began as a ancient Korean martial art of self-defense that has evolved into a modern day Olympic sport. It develops self-confidence, self-discipline, self-improvement and self-control. It is a martial art that focuses on the discipline of both the mind and the body.
In taekwondo, choreographed forms are used that are designed for the practice of techniques against imaginary opponents. Sparring puts knowledge of techniques learned in the forms to the test against real opponents.
In taekwondo, belt color indicates achievement level. White belts indicate beginners. Black belts are expert-level practitioners. Students are recommended for testing based on their skill levels, and then must complete testing in front of Masters of Taekwondo in order to be awarded their next-level belt.
