Bude Taekwondo (EX23): If you'd like to bolster your self-esteem, learn self-defence, develop your mind and body and build your confidence, an ideal sport to take up is Taekwondo. This more modern of the martial arts saw its beginnings in Korea just after WW2.
Since Taekwondo has quite high physical demands, it is possibly more suitable for the younger people of Bude. That isn't to say that elderly people cannot be involved in this activity, but just that there may be alternative martial arts which are more suitable for the less agile among us. Tai Chi would be a perfect example.
Taekwondo started in Korea in 1945. Some exciting new schools called "kwans", blending various martial arts techniques were established in Seoul by a group of Korean martial arts enthusiasts. The main focus of Taekwondo, as it ultimately became known, is on kicking manoeuvres, especially fast kicking styles, head-height kicks and turning/jumping kicks. Now Bude Taekwondo classes abide by this tradition.
With over sixty million individuals participating in Taekwondo classes all over the world, this has unquestionably become a popular and worthwhile pastime, and if you become really good at the martial art you may possibly one day qualify for the Olympic Games, of which it's been an integral part ever since the Sydney Games in the year 2000.
It is the self-defence aspect of Taekwondo that generally has the most appeal to people in Bude. This is not surprising when you consider the rising levels of violence seen in town and city centres these days. The ability to defend yourself and at the same time exercising self-restraint and a respect for others is one of the key benefits of Taekwondo.
There is a pretty good chance that your newly mastered Taekwondo skills will never need to be tested in the outside world, but it will most certainly give you reassurance knowing that they are there should you ever need them.
Your First Lesson
For those of you who have never attempted Taekwondo before, you'll no doubt be curious to know what to expect from your first lesson. The following will give you an overview, but this will vary from school to school. A 15-20 minute warm up, a bit of technical training such as learning some blocks, kicks, hand attacks and stances, some work on forms or patterns (Poomse in Korean), a few ideas on sparring including movement, timing and the targeting of attacks, and to round off a warm down to stretch weary muscles and loosen up.
Any person who joins a Taekwondo class in Bude has to also become a member of British Taekwondo which is the regulating body of the sport in Britain. You can learn about events, news, members and clubs, starting a new club, referees and coaching, safeguarding and equality, coaching courses, first aid, health and safety, and more on British Taekwondo's official website, or get the latest news on their Twitter or Facebook page.

Safety Equipment
In all contests, events and competitions taking place under the auspices of British Taekwondo, safety gear like a groin protector, a red/blue head protector, shin guards, hand protectors, a blue or red trunk guard (hogu), forearm protectors and a mouth guard is obligatory. The kicking manoeuvres which are part of Taekwondo may cause injuries and this all helps make the sport safer for its competitors.
Taekwondo Kicks
As martial arts go, Taekwondo sticks out as the one with the most kicking manoeuvres. These are just some standard ones: Back Kick (Dwo Chagi), Push Kick (Meereo Chagi), Front Kick (Ap Chagi), Roundhouse Kick (Dollyo Chagi), Axe Kick (Naeryeo Chagi), Crescent Kick (Bandal Chagi), Side Kick (Yeop Chagi), Whip or Hook Kick (Huryeo Chagi). Taekwondo Blocks: To fend off the numerous kicks and hand attacks there are a similarly diverse range of "blocks" (Makgi). They're held in particular positions and enlist the hands with different sections of the arm. Each form of attack necessitates a particular style of block, counter-attacks can be created by integrating a block with a retaliatory punch or kick. The primary "blocks" (makgi) include: Nine Block, Knife Hand Block, Single Forearm Block, Rising Block, Double Forearm Block, Upper Block, Double Knife Hand Block, Palm Block and Low Block.
