Denholme Taekwondo (BD13): Created during the 1940's in Korea, Taekwondo is a martial art which has grown dramatically in popularity in the last 20 years or so. Known as a means by which to strengthen your mind and body, bolster your self-respect, boost your confidence and learn self-defence, it has been taken up by tens of millions of individuals around the world.
Taekwondo is generally far more physically demanding than for instance Tai Chi, so unless you're pretty fit and agile you might prefer to partake in something a little bit gentler to improve your fitness levels in Denholme. Younger children are certainly an ideal participants for Taekwondo classes in Denholme, with lots of fast paced movements taking place and plenty of high kicking.
With its early beginnings in 1940's Korea, South-East Asia, Taekwondo is obviously one of the more recently developed of the martial arts and entails mostly high-kicking movements such as head-height kicks, jumping/turning kicks and fast kicking styles. It began when schools called "kwans" were established by a bunch of Korean martial arts specialists in Seoul, South Korea.
Since the Sydney Olympic Games in the year 2000, Taekwondo has been an Olympic sport. This has added to its popularity throughout the world with some 60 million people regularly taking part in classes. And it's by signing up to a Taekwondo class or club that you are able to start your journey of learning this thrilling activity.
For the men, women and children of Denholme who wish to learn a martial art, a top priority is the element of self-defence.
