Tae Kwon Do news


Taekwondo is now a full contact Olympic sport which has greatly progressed from its humble martial art origins in South Korea. The sport originates from traditional military combat techniques used by soldiers and warriors in ancient times. These sleek self-defense techniques have been meticulously refined over centuries to a competitive, elegant and efficient full contact sport.
It aims to unify one’s mental strength with physical fitness. Our uniform is the embodiment of this idea as the belt is used to keep the uniform together so an athlete’s mind must be strong enough to will their body into action and training. The sport focuses on speed, accuracy and strength while instilling sportsmanship which strives towards respecting elders and investing in the youth.
Modern Taekwondo, as we know it, was first seen at the 1988 Seoul Olympics in South Korea as an opening ceremony demonstration. The sport finally debuted as an event at the 2000 Sydney Olympics in Australia. Shortly after TuksTaekwondo had a hand in developing the first Taekwondo Olympian from South Africa.
