| On a very warm day in Derbys, our Black Belts students today received their TaeKwon-Do International & their TAGB Black Belt Certificates, from TAGB North Midlands Area Coordinator Master Brian Towndrow. They then went off to have an hours training with Master Towndrow, working on their new patternes. An excellent day and a wonderful and proud moment for the club instructor John Davis, who also received his 3rd Dan certificate.  |
| What is TaeKwon-Do |
| Tae Kwon Do is the Korean art of self-defense. Literally translated, TAE means kick or to strike with the foot, KWON means fist or to strike with the hand, DO means discipline or art. It is much more than the image of the martial arts physical aspect. It is designed as a non-violent art and system of complete body exercises as well as being a way of life. It includes physical techniques, mental discipline, and a deep philosophy. By practicing Tae Kwon Do, one can benefit in these ways; PHYSICALLY - One can develop good coordination, gain strength, increase flexibility, and improve cardiovascular conditioning. From all of these physical practices, one can have a strong body. MENTALLY - One can build self-confidence, gain better judgement, and improve self-control. From all of these mental disciplines, one can have a sound mind. PHILOSOPHICALLY - While developing a strong body and a sound mind, it is appropriate to learn the valuable philosophical tools and lessons in life offered by Tae Kwon Do philosophy. Among these lessons: The way to be honest, always standing for justice. How to respect and help others. The meaning of loyalty and courtesy. Incorporating these aspects into one's life will build for them; the ability to be strong, to be humble, to be gentle, and to maintain self-respect. Tae Kwon Do philosophy emphasizes good health, happiness, generosity, and a sense of value of freedom, justice, and peace. All of these inspire independence and coexistence. Tae Kwon Do is an art of humanity. It is a guide for the formation of outstanding character. It is practiced as a modern world sport. It is useful as a contemporary universal philosophy. Taekwondo is practiced in 123 countries with over 30 million practitioners and 3 million individuals with black belts throughout the world. How can I benefit from practicing Taekwondo? The most important aspect of Taekwondo is that it is not only a superior art of self-defense, but of the mind as well. Taekwondo students develop discipline, confidence, concentration, and respect. These benefits spill over into all facets of the students' lives. With its practical means of self-defense, its complete regimen of physical conditioning, and its aid to improved mental performance, Taekwondo offers a total fitness program integrating mind, body and spirit. |
