WHAT IS TAE KWON DO?

Tae Kwon Do is the art of hand and foot fighting.  It is an ancient Korean Martial art that has evolved into

physical and mental discipline, self-control, self confidence, humility, reduction of stress and the training
in un-armed self-defense.  For individuals who enjoy sports, it provides the opportunity to participate in
local, Regional, State, National, International and Olympic competitions.
