Ashby-de-La-Zouch Taekwondo (LE65): A Korean martial art which was created in the 1940's, Taekwondo has grown considerably in popularity since then. If you'd like to build your confidence, bolster your self-respect, learn some useful self-defence techniques and strengthen your body and mind, Taekwondo may be precisely the pastime for you.
Because Taekwondo has fairly high physical demands, it is perhaps more suitable for the younger generation in Ashby-de-La-Zouch. That is not to say that older people cannot be involved in this kind of activity, but simply that there may be other martial arts which are more suitable for the less agile of us. Tai Chi is the perfect example.
Taekwondo originated in Korea in 1945. In Seoul, a group of Korean martial arts lovers founded some exciting new schools which they called "kwans", practicing a mixture of martial arts techniques. Taekwondo, which it later became known as, mainly involves kicking movements, especially head-height kicks, turning/jumping kicks and fast kicking strategies. These days Ashby-de-La-Zouch Taekwondo classes follow this tradition.
Nowadays an Olympic sport, Taekwondo has more than 60 million enthusiasts all around the world, and though you might not have any aspirations to be an Olympic Games sportsman, you're still able to enroll in a Taekwondo class or club to master what will no doubt prove to be a fulfilling and fascinating activity.
For the men, women and children of Ashby-de-La-Zouch who would like to learn a martial art, a major priority is the element of self-defence. Because this is a central principle of Taekwondo, it's not difficult to appreciate the appeal of this particular sport. With the extra bonus of learning self-restraint and having a degree of respect for those around you, enrolling in a local Ashby-de-La-Zouch Taekwondo class would seem to be a no brainer.
Even though you'll take a lot of trouble learning these vital self-defence skills, hopefully you will not ever need to implement them except within your local Taekwondo club environment.
