Taekwondo Nantwich

Nantwich Taekwondo (CW5): If you have been thinking about taking up a hobby to achieve some specific goals such as to bolster your self-respect, learn some useful self-defence techniques, strengthen your body and mind and build your confidence, Taekwondo could be just the thing for you. This more modern of the martial arts was developed in Korea just after World War 2.

As a result of its more physical attributes, Taekwondo is possibly more appropriate for the younger generation in Nantwich and is especially suited to children as it's excellent for developing respect for others and self-discipline. Older adults may find it a bit too demanding unless they're especially active and fit. Even so, those folks who take up Taekwondo in Nantwich from a young age will discover that they can easily carry it on when they are older. The less agile of you might consider something gentler like Tai Chi.

With its early beginnings in 1940's Korea, South-East Asia, Taekwondo is obviously one of the more recently created of the martial arts and consists of mostly high-kicking moves such as head-height kicks, rapid kicking styles and jumping/turning kicks. It began when schools known as "kwans" were set up by a bunch of Korean martial artists in Seoul, South Korea.

Taekwondo now has over 60 million practitioners worldwide and has become very popular in Nantwich and throughout the UK. Joining a local Taekwondo club or class in Nantwich is a good way to get involved with this activity which is now an Olympic sport. While you may not aspire to Olympic competition, there is no reason why you cannot become a master of this exciting martial art and have some fun along the way.

Of all the many benefits of doing this sport, it is the self-defence aspect of Taekwondo that the people of Nantwich find most appealing. This is not surprising when you consider the rising levels of violence seen in town and city centres these days. In fact one of the key principles of Taekwondo is learning to defend yourself whilst exercising self-restraint and a respect for others.

There is a pretty good chance that your eagerly mastered Taekwondo skills will never have to be proven in your everyday life, but it will unquestionably give you reassurance knowing that they are there should you ever be in need of them.

Your First Nantwich Taekwondo Lesson

If you make your mind up to register for a Taekwondo club in Nantwich, the first thing you'll want to know is what is going to happen on the first class and what will the trainer expect to see from you. Different Taekwondo masters in the Nantwich area will formulate differing routines for this first introductory lesson but you can anticipate performing a 15-20 minute warm-up to get the blood pumping and loosen your muscles, learn some basic forms (Poomse), cover some technical training (kicks, hand attacks, blocks and stances), do some sparring, and to finish, a warm-down.

The UK official governing body of the sport is British Taekwondo and if you want to join a Taekwondo club in Nantwich, you'll also be required to become a member of this respected organization.

Competitions

Tournaments are a significant aspect of the overall Taekwondo experience, and all of the different styles all over the world hold tournaments and competitions where Taekwondo masters get together to compete. Hard contact is rarely permitted in any of these tournaments which mostly incorporate breaking, patterns and sparring. Sparring only is allowed in Olympic and World Taekwondo (WT) tournaments, whilst some hand attacks are tolerated in International Taekwon-Do Federation events.

To Summarize

We cannot all be like Jade Jones or Lutalo Muhammad, and I reckon that we don't all want to be. Taekwondo isn't solely about National Championships and Olympic medals. Most of us are happy to meet different people, improve our levels of fitness and make new friends, and that is exactly how it should be. However, as with most things in life, what you get out of it will depend on what you put into it. Good luck and enjoy! 👊
