WHAT IS TAE KWON DO?
Taekwondo is a 2,000 year old Korean martial art. It is famous for it's
flying kicks- a spectacular assortment of techniques which are
devastating attacks when executed by an expert. All basic Taekwondo
considered the ultimate in the Taekwondo practitioner's arsenal of
weapons. Although noted for their kicks, Taekwondo practitioners also
use a large array of hand techniques, to punch, strike, and block. As in
Karetedo, Taekwondo teaches use of all parts of the hand and arm, both
for attack and defense.
WHAT MARTIAL ART IS THE BEST?
This is a very often asked question, unfortunately there is not such
thing as the one best martial art, but you can find one that suites your

with each different art and then find the one that you enjoyed the most
