Preesall Taekwondo (FY6): A Korean martial art which was formulated in the 1940's, Taekwondo has grown considerably in popularity since then. If you'd like to bolster your self-respect, boost your confidence, strengthen your mind and body and learn some self-defence techniques, Taekwondo could be precisely the pastime for you.
Due to its more physical aspects, Taekwondo is perhaps more suited to the younger person in Preesall and is particularly suitable for children as it's great for developing respect for others and self-discipline. Older adults might find it somewhat too challenging unless they are especially fit and active. However, those who persue Taekwondo in Preesall at a young age will discover they can easily continue with it into older adulthood. The less nimble of you could think about something gentler like Tai Chi.
The sport was first practiced in Korea in around 1945, though the name Taekwondo was not coined until the 1950's. This combination of various martial arts techniques were practiced in some exciting new schools in Seoul called "kwans", established by a group of Korean martial artists. Taekwondo, which it later became known as, mainly entails kicking manoeuvres, especially head kicks, rapid kicking techniques and jumping/turning kicks. Today Preesall Taekwondo classes comply with this tradition.
Taekwondo has grown to become extremely popular in Preesall and all over the world, with over 60 million practitioners worldwide. Becoming a member of a local Preesall Taekwondo class or club is a great way to become involved with this sport which has even featured in the Olympic Games ever since the Sydney Games of 2000. Though you may not have any aspirations to get involved in Olympic competition, there is no reason why you cannot become a maestro of this exhilarating martial art and have some fun in the process.
In these modern times of increasing violence, it is no surprise that folks in areas like Preesall are signing up for self-defence training such as Taekwondo to help them feel safer in their everyday life. The self-defence aspect is one of the primary benefits of Taekwondo but at the same time it also teaches self-restraint and a respect for those around us, which are disciplines that are often lacking in modern day life.
Such self-defence techniques may in due course prove to be useful in your everyday life, though it is more likely that you will only be testing them within a controlled class setting. Yet it is a reassuring feeling knowing that you'll always be in a position to successfully defend yourself when you have to.
Your First Lesson
If Taekwondo isn't an activity that you have ever had a go at before, you will doubtless be wondering what you should expect from your initial lesson if you make up your mind to sign up. Different Taekwondo schools in Preesall have different ideas about this but in brief; you'll take part in a 15-20 minute warm-up, you will do some technical training, you'll learn some forms (patterns), you are going to practice sparring techniques and finally you'll do a warm-down to get your body back into a relaxed state once more.
Any person who joins a Taekwondo class in Preesall has to also register with British Taekwondo which is the governing body of the sport in the UK. You'll be able to learn about coaching courses, clubs and members, news, safe practices, referees and coaching, equality and safeguarding, starting a new club, first aid, events, and more on the British Taekwondo website, and find out the latest Taekwondo news reports on their Facebook or Twitter page.

Taekwondo Forms
Taekwondo forms (also called patterns or Poomse) are characterised by certain elements such as technique, stance and direction. From the start you are going to learn some of the basic forms, and so as to progress through the various levels (belts) you'll need to master some more advanced ones.
Safety Equipment
In all contests, competitions and events being held under the auspices of British Taekwondo, safety gear such as a gum shield, a groin guard, hand protectors, blue/red trunk armour, a blue or red head guard, shin guards and forearm guards is compulsory. The fast kicking manoeuvres which are part of Taekwondo can cause serious injuries and this precaution helps make this sport safer for its competitors.
Tournaments and Competitions
Taekwondo tournaments are staged all over the world in all of the different styles. There's generally not a whole lot of hard contact but sparring, breaking and patterns (forms). Olympic and WT contests comprise only sparring, in International Taekwon-Do Federation contests specific hand attacks are allowed to the head. Other bodies stage multi-discipline competitions.
