what is
tae kwon do?
Taekwondo is an ancient Korean martial art known for its emphasis on high, fast kicks and powerful striking techniques. It combines physical fitness, discipline, and mental focus, often practiced both as a sport and a means of self-defense. Taekwondo is also an Olympic sport, promoting values like respect, perseverance, and self-control. These disciplines carry over into all areas of life.
what is
hapkido?
Hapkido is a Korean martial art focused on self-defense, blending joint locks, throws, kicks, and strikes with fluid motion and redirection of an opponent’s energy. It emphasizes using technique over brute strength, often incorporating pressure points and weapons. Hapkido practitioners train to defend against a variety of attacks using circular motion and precise control.
