History of Taekwon-Do and its origin
Taekwon-Do is the "Art of Hand and Foot"
originating from Korea and brought to the world by its creator and founder of the ITF (,International Taekwon-Do Federation,) General Choi Hong Hi.
General Choi completed this art in 1955 and received worldwide recognition in a short period of time.
Philosophy of Taekwon-Do is to teach anyone, which is what General Choi aspired to do for the world.
Now, Taekwon-Do is one of the most popular forms of martial arts today and is practiced in every part of the world.
Taekwon-Do is a "family art" which means that it can be learned by both Son and Father, Mother and Daughter. We strive to make Taekwon-Do the type of Martial Art that can be utilized by ever man, woman, and child, young or old.
Taekwon-Do is built on 5 major aspects:
- Patterns
- Conditioning
- Fundamentals
- Self Defense
- Sparring
These 5 parts of Taekwon-Do make up its base of instruction. All being equally important.
Aside from the physical requirements expected, there are also mental attributes that contribute to the Taekwon-Do training.
The Tenets of Taekwon-Do are:
- Courtesy
- Integrity
- Perseverance
- Self-Control
- Indomitable Spirit
All of these Tenets are parts of the art that cannot be overlooked. Taekwon-do must be used with both, strength in mind, as well as body.
The International Taekwon-Do Federation
and what this means
The ITF is the original governing group for world Taekwon-Do. Taekwon-do started with the ITF.
Being affiliated with the ITF means having a school to train in any part of the world without the concern regarding proper terminology or specific patterns. This Unity is the essence of Taekwon-Do. When a student is part of the ITF, they become part of a worldwide family of Taekwon-Do practitioners.
Unlike most schools, this creates a feeling of family that is most important in the drive and determination of the student.
Harding Taekwon-Do and what to expect
Harding Taekwon-Do is pledged to keep with the traditional form of the art. Combined with structure, etiquette and compassion, Harding Taekwon-do prides itself on its ability to teach and treat students with respect and maturity.
Harding Taekwon-do is not a daycare. Upon becoming a student of Harding Taekwon-Do, expect to give 150% effort, 100% of the time. Expect to be treated with the utmost respect while the same is expected of each student and parent.
Self-improvements does not happen over night. Be assured that Harding Taekwon-Do is the way Martial Arts should be.
