Appleton Thorn Taekwondo (WA4): First created in Korea in the 1940's and 50's, Taekwondo is a fast paced combatative sport that's become exceedingly popular over the last 30 years or so. For those of you who want to enhance your self-esteem, build your confidence, learn some self-defence moves and strengthen your body and mind, Taekwondo could be the perfect hobby or fitness activity.
Due to its more physical aspects, Taekwondo is perhaps more suited to the younger generation in Appleton Thorn and is particularly suited to children because it's great for developing respect for others and self-discipline. Older adults might find it somewhat too demanding unless they are especially active and fit. Even so, those who persue Taekwondo in Appleton Thorn from a young age will discover they can easily continue with it into older adulthood. The less agile of you could consider participating in something softer like Tai Chi.
Based mainly around high-kicking moves and manoeuvres like head-height kicks, spinning/jumping kicks and fast kicking techniques, Taekwondo was formulated from the practices of various martial arts, by a group of Seoul martial arts specialists in new schools known as "Kwans" during the nineteen forties and fifties. These "Kwans" were given the names Songmu Kwan, Chungdo Kwan, Jido Kwan, Mooduk Kwan and Changmu Kwan.
Taekwondo has become extremely popular in Appleton Thorn and all across the globe, with more than 60 million participants worldwide. Joining a local Appleton Thorn Taekwondo class or club is a good way to become involved in this activity which has even been a part of the Olympic Games since the Sydney Games of 2000. While you might not have any aspirations to take part in Olympic competition, there's certainly no reason why you shouldn't become a master of this exciting martial art and have some fun along the way.
It seems that the most appealing aspect of Taekwondo is self-defence. You should not be surprised by this, when you take into account the high incidence of violence seen in today's town and city centres. However, exercising self-restraint and a respect for others goes hand in hand with the self-defence principles of Taekwondo.
Your eagerly mastered Taekwondo skills will most likely never need to be tested outside the monitored atmosphere of an actual Taekwondo class, however being aware that you've got them will give you peace of mind.
Your First Lesson
For those of you who have never done Taekwondo before, you'll no doubt be intrigued to know just what to expect from your first class. This may vary from school to school but will typically include most or all of the following. A 15-20 minute warm up, some technical training covering some kicks, hand attacks, stances and blocks, learning some Poomse (or forms), a look at sparring including timing, movement and the targeting of attacks, and to round off a warm down with muscle stretching and relaxing to prevent cramping and spasms.

Taekwondo Belts (Rank)
In Taekwondo there is really no form of standardisation with regards to grades and belts. It's all subject to what style you are looking at, because there are such a diversity of Taekwondo styles. They are however, generally divided into 2 groups "junior" or "colour" belts and "senior" or "black" belts. The colour/junior ranks range from white to red, with anything from 8 to 12 rankings, whilst the black/senior belts usually have 9 grades.
Ranks (belts) in Taekwondo in the UK are symbolized by what generally known as "Kup". The top rank is First Kup and the lowest (beginners) is Tenth Kup. The Taekwondo belt order, similar to the vast majority of the martial arts is indicated by a number of different colours, these colours are white, yellow, green, blue and red, with intermediate belts with stripes, namely white with a yellow stripe, yellow with a green stripe, green with a blue stripe, blue with a red stripe and red with a black stripe. Beginners of Taekwondo in Appleton Thorn will start out with the White Belt (10th Kup), and move up through the coloured belts until they earn the Red Belt With a Black Stripe (1st Kup).
After this training has been completed, Appleton Thorn Taekwondo students become "black belt candidates", and they then need to earn a further nine Dans or ranks if they're to achieve the Taekwondo "Black Belt", which of course is the consummate accolade. Therefore, the Taekwondo belt order can be grouped into 3 divisions; Junior Belt, Senior Belt and Black Belt. The Taekwondo Belts in the Junior group are; 10th (White), 9th (White With Yellow Stripe), 8th (Yellow), and 7th (Yellow With Green Stripe). The Taekwondo Belts in the Senior division are; 6th (Green), 5th (Green With Blue Stripe), 4th (Blue), 3rd ( Blue With Red Stripe), 2nd (Red), and 1st (Red With Black Stripe). The Taekwondo Belts in the Black group go from 1st to 9th Dan, a qualification process which will take a number of years.
