Barnard Castle Taekwondo (DL12): If you are looking to take up a new hobby which will enable you to learn some self-defence techniques, boost your confidence, enhance your self-esteem and strengthen your mind and body, you should consider Taekwondo as a possible option. This relatively modern martial art only came into being in Korea during the 1940's and 1950's.
Taekwondo is generally far more demanding physically than for example Tai Chi, so unless you are pretty fit and agile you may prefer to find something a bit gentler to boost your fitness levels in Barnard Castle. Younger children are definitely the perfect participants for Taekwondo classes in Barnard Castle, with a lot of fast paced movements taking place and a great deal of high kicking.
Based mostly around kicking moves and manoeuvres like turning/jumping kicks, head kicks and fast kicking methods, Taekwondo was created from the practices of different martial arts, by a number of Seoul martial arts specialists in new schools called "Kwans" during the 1940's and 1950's. These "Kwans" were given the names Mooduk Kwan, Jido Kwan, Changmu Kwan, Songmu Kwan and Chungdo Kwan.
Since the Sydney Olympic Games in the year 2000, Taekwondo has been a competitive Olympic sport. This has made it even more popular all over the world with some 60 million people or more regularly attending classes. And it's by joining a Taekwondo class or club that you can start your journey of mastering this unique martial art.
The thing about Taekwondo that appears to most interest people in Barnard Castle is the self-defence aspect of it. You should not be surprised by this, when you take into account the high incidence of violence seen in today's town centres. However, exercising a good helping of self-restraint and having respect for others goes hand in hand with the self-defence principles of Taekwondo.
Although it will instill you with confidence being aware that you have such self-defence skills tucked away inside you, the chances are that you will never have to test them outside the controlled environment of an organised Taekwondo class.

Taekwondo Forms (Poomse)

A Taekwondo form is characterised by a number of variables such as technique, direction and stance.
Summary
We can't all be like Jade Jones or Lutalo Muhammad, and I reckon that we wouldn't all want to be. Taekwondo is not purely about Olympic medals and National Championships. The majority of of us are content to meet different people, improve our fitness and make new friends, and that is exactly how it should be. Yet, as with many matters in life, what you get out of it will depend on what you put into it. Good luck and enjoy! 👊
