Penistone Taekwondo (S36): If you have been thinking about taking up a hobby to achieve some specific goals such as to build your confidence, bolster your self-respect, strengthen your body and mind and learn some self-defence moves, Taekwondo could be just the thing for you. This more modern martial art has quickly grown in popularity since being developed in the 1940's in Korea.
Whilst people of all ages in Penistone can of course participate in Taekwondo, it is especially suited to the younger generation since it can be rather physically demanding, children can especially benefit from its teachings of self-discipline and the respect of others. Seniors who are not all that fit and active might find it a tad too taxing. For those people who take up Taekwondo when they are younger, continuing the experience into older adulthood shouldn't be an issue. If you consider yourself among the less nimble, you could always try something like Tai Chi which is much less strenuous.
Taekwondo is one of the more recently developed of the martial arts, with its beginnings in Korea in 1945. Some new schools called "kwans" were established in Seoul by a group of Korean martial arts fanatics, combining a number of various martial arts techniques. Kicking manoeuvres, especially turning/jumping kicks, fast kicking techniques and head-height kicks are the main emphasis of Taekwondo, as it eventually became known.Today Penistone Taekwondo classes follow this tradition.
Taekwondo is popular with the people of Penistone and with over sixty million others throughout the world. This sport has even featured in the Olympic Games since 2000, and if you would like to get involved, signing up for a local Penistone Taekwondo club or class is a great starting point. While you might not aspire to Olympic competition, there is no reason why you can't be a master of this fascinating martial art and have some fun along the way.
People in Penistone take up Taekwondo for many reasons but it is the self-defence aspect that appeals to most. And in these days of increased violence, especially in town and city centres, it is no surprise that this features high on people's list of priorities. However, exercising self-restraint and a respect for others goes hand in hand with the self-defence principles of Taekwondo.
Even though you will spend a lot of time learning these essential self-defence techniques, with luck you won't ever need to implement them except within your local Taekwondo club environment.
Your First Penistone Taekwondo Class
If you have not attempted Taekwondo before you will be a bit apprehensive as to what you should expect on your first class.

An initial warm up lasting fifteen to twenty minutes, a bit of technical training comprising some stances, hand attacks, blocking techniques and kicks, learning some Poomse (or forms), a look at sparring including good timing, movement and targeting attacks, and to round off a warm down to relax and stretch tired muscles.

Hard contact is hardly ever allowed in any of these contests which mainly incorporate sparring, patterns (forms) and breaking. Sparring only is allowed in Olympic and World Taekwondo (WT) tournaments, while certain hand attacks are tolerated in ITF events.
Taekwondo Kicks
There are lots of different Taekwondo kicks, here are just a sample of them: Side Kick, Whip or Hook Kick, Back Kick, Push Kick, Axe Kick, Crescent Kick, Front Kick, Roundhouse Kick. Taekwondo Blocks: Taekwondo "blocks", which are used to repulse the various attacking moves, are called Makgi. Held in particular positions, they use the hand and sections of the arm. Each kind of attack calls for a specific type of block, counter-attacking moves can be created by combining a block with a retaliatory kick or punch. The main "blocks" (makgi) in Taekwondo include: Palm Block, Double Forearm Block, Knife Hand Block, Upper Block, Low Block, Nine Block, Single Forearm Block, Rising Block and Double Knife Hand Block.
