Self Defense Combat
The martial arts have grown out of a human need for self-defense and strengthening the spirit. Combining skills from boxing and wrestling so that the whole body is used as a weapon.
The International TaeKwonDo Alliance recognizes TaeKwonDo, Korean in origin, as the preeminent martial , an unequaled method of unarmed self-defense that is also highly artistic in its execution. TaeKwonDo techniques evolved over thousands of years to attain the greatest speed, power and artistic beauty. It is constant in form and purpose. It was created by nonviolent men to discourage violence.
It does give power of self-defense, but it never once suggests an offensive use of this power. It does bring physical well being, for there is no discipline of man which trims, shapes or conditions the body as well. It does bring a fluidity to motion, a grace to movement, and physical harmony. And it does more. It brings self-strength, self-knowledge, self-confidence, and self-control. It reaches toward "ki"... the development of a total being capable of meeting any challenge with calm and success. It brings one to himself. It is a "way" of life.
