Taekwondo Nottingham
Nottingham Taekwondo (NG1): A Korean martial art that was formulated in the nineteen forties, Taekwondo has continued to grow in popularity since then. If you'd like to bolster your self-respect, learn self-defence, build your confidence and develop your mind and body, Taekwondo could be just the pastime for you.
It needs to be said that Taekwondo can be quite challenging physically, which may unnerve the older and less agile folks in Nottingham from taking this up. To be fair, the most frequent people participating in Taekwondo classes are kids and the younger generation, but of course older individuals who're in great physical health can easily get involved and benefit considerably from this sport.
Taekwondo is one of the more recently developed of the martial arts, with its beginnings in Korea in 1945. This combination of various martial arts techniques were practiced in some new schools in Seoul called "kwans", founded by a group of Korean martial artists. Kicking manoeuvres, especially head-height kicks, spinning/jumping kicks and rapid kicking techniques are the main emphasis of Taekwondo, as it eventually became known.
At present an Olympic sport, Taekwondo has over 60 million followers all over the world, and even though you may not aspire to be an Olympic Games medalist, you can still register for a Taekwondo club or class to learn what will undoubtedly prove to be a fulfilling and intriguing activity.
It is the self-defence aspect of Taekwondo that generally has the most appeal to people in Nottingham. This is not surprising when you consider the rising levels of violence seen in town and city centres these days. However, exercising self-restraint and a respect for others goes hand in hand with the self-defence principles of Taekwondo.
There is a pretty decent chance that your newly mastered Taekwondo skills will never have to be tested in the outside world, but it will unquestionably give you peace of mind knowing that they are there should you ever be in need of them.
Your First Lesson
If you've never tried Taekwondo previously, you could be a little anxious as to what you can expect on your very first class. This can vary from school to school but will generally comprise all or some of the following. A fifteen to twenty minute warm up to loosen muscles and increase your heart rate, some practical training involving learning some kicks, hand attacks, stances and blocks, studying some Poomse (forms), a quick introduction to sparring including timing, attack timing and movement, and finally a warm down to stretch and relax tired muscles.

Taekwondo Patterns (Forms)

A form is denoted by particular elements of Taekwondo including stance, direction and technique. Learning these techniques is an important part of perfecting Taekwondo.
