Histon Taekwondo (CB24): If you've been looking around Histon for some ideas for a new hobby, you may want to consider Taekwondo as a possibility. Practising this skill will help you to develop your mind and body, build your confidence, learn to defend yourself better and bolster your self-esteem. A more modern martial art, Taekwondo was first developed in the 1940's and 50's in Korea.
Images of young children doing energetic kicks and rapid punching manoeuvres, are what spring to mind at the mere mention of Taekwondo. Whilst the physical demands of Taekwondo perhaps make it more suited to the younger generation, it can certainly be practiced by people of every age group. It should however be said that if you are relatively fit you'll definately get more enjoyment out of Taekwondo.
Taekwondo started in Korea in 1945. This combination of various martial arts techniques were practiced in some new schools in Seoul called "kwans", founded by a group of Korean martial artists. The emphasis of Taekwondo, as it eventually became known, is on kicking manoeuvres, especially rapid kicking styles, jumping/turning kicks and head kicks.Today Histon Taekwondo classes follow this tradition.
At present an Olympic sport, Taekwondo has over 60 million enthusiasts all around the world, and whilst you might not have any ambitions to be an Olympic Games athlete, you are still able to join a Taekwondo club or class to learn what will no doubt prove to be a worthwhile and intriguing activity.
For a lot of people in Histon, it is the self-defence aspect of Taekwondo which holds the most appeal. And in these days of increased violence, particularly in city and town centres, it's little surprise that this sits high on people's priority lists. It is a primary factor of Taekwondo that you're able to become more confident in your ability to defend yourself and at the same time learn to respect those around you and learn self-restraint.
While it is a great experience to practice and master these self-defence techniques in the controlled environment of your local Histon Taekwondo club, with any luck you will not ever have the need to use them in the world outside.
