Taekwon-do
at Dance Zone
Translated literally, Taekwon-Do means ‘art of foot and
hand fighting’. It is more than just that, however. It is the
scientific use of the body in methods of self-defence, a
body that has gained the ultimate use of its facilities
through intensive physical and mental training. It is a
martial art that has no equal in either power or technique.
Though it is a martial art, its discipline, techniques, and
mental training are the mortar for building a strong sense
of justice, fortitude, humility, and resolve. It is this mental
conditioning that separates the true practitioner from the
sensationalist content with mastering only the fighting
aspects of the art. “ By General Choi, Hong-Hi - the founder
of Taekwon-Do”
Made famous by the “Best of the Best” movies and the
character Hwoarang in the Playstation game “Tekken 3”,
this martial art is practiced by over 50 million people
worldwide. Known for its spectacular kicks (over 100 - more
than any other martial art), and its scientifically sound
techniques, Taekwon-Do is one of the world’s superior
martial arts.
Benefits of Taekwon-Do: Practicing Taekwon-Do has various health benefits. It can be practiced
almost anywhere, with little or no equipment, in groups or alone. The body places its own
limits, therefore each student develops at his or her own pace. The training does not produce
large bulky muscles, but instead long, firm and flexible muscles for an overall healthy system.
Taekwon-Do’s high repetition, low resistance training burns about six hundred calories per
hour; one of the highest of any sport activities. Combined with Taekwon-Do’s focus on proper
breathing, it improves the respiratory- and Cardiovascular systems, reduces stress, the risk of
heart disease, aids in obesity, endorphin is produced due to exercise and combats light
depression.
Affiliation: We are affiliated to the original global Taekwon-Do governing body the “International
Taekwon-Do Federation” as well as nationally to MAASA (Martial Arts Authority of South Africa).
