Dukinfield Taekwondo (SK16): Developed in the 1940's in Korea, South-East Asia, Taekwondo is a martial art that has grown dramatically in popularity in recent years. Recognized as a way to learn self-defence, strengthen your mind and body, build your confidence and bolster your self-esteem, it's been embraced by millions of people around the globe.
It needs to be said that Taekwondo can be fairly physically challenging, which might unnerve the less agile and more elderly folks in Dukinfield from taking this up. To be completely truthful, the most common people participating in Taekwondo classes are kids and the younger generation, but certainly older individuals who're in good physical health can easily participate and benefit from this sport.
Based mostly around kicking manoeuvres like turning/jumping kicks, head-height kicks and fast kicking styles, Taekwondo was devised from the techniques of various martial arts, by a group of Seoul martial arts experts in new schools known as "Kwans" in the 1940's and 1950's. These "Kwans" were given the names Songmu Kwan, Jido Kwan, Chungdo Kwan, Mooduk Kwan and Changmu Kwan.
Ever since the Sydney Olympic Games in the year 2000, Taekwondo has been an Olympic sport. This has made it even more popular throughout the world with some 60 million people or more actively taking classes. And it's by joining a Taekwondo class or club that you are able to begin your quest of learning this exciting art.
A key aspect of Taekwondo is self-defence, and of course this is one of the primary reasons that people in Dukinfield sign up to classes and engage with the sport. There has been a worrying increase in violent conduct in recent years and this is especially rife in town and city centres throughout Greater Manchester and the country in general. The beauty of Taekwondo though, is that it also promotes self-discipline and respect for others, not such common attributes in Dukinfield these days.
Although it will give you peace of mind knowing that you have such self-defence skills in your locker, the likelihood is that you'll never need to test them outside the regulated setting of an organised Taekwondo class.
