Taekwondo is a modern martial art, characterized by its fast, high and spinning kicks. There are multiple interpretations of the name taekwondo. Taekwondo is often translated as ‘the way of hand and foot’.
My definition of the name Taekwondo is:
- Tae=’to strike or block with the foot’ or ‘to kick’, it also means ‘jump’
- K’won=’Fist’, ‘to strike or block with hand’
- Do=’The way of’ or ‘art’.
Put this together and Taekwondo means: “The art of Kicking and Punching” or “The art of unarmed combat”. The sport of the popular modern martial arts. Has been founded in Korea and is one.
This activity is a very good sport for students to be more active and energetic. They learn fast reactions through games learn to respect others and learn to know their abilities and disabilities.
Different tipes of stretching makes student be more flex able. Also we have a competition between participants of activity. Students wear full body protection, only kicks and punches to the body are allowed, no kicks to the head.
The goals of this activity are:
- to develop an appreciation for Taekwondo as a sport and as an art
- to achieve physical fitness through positive participation
- to improve mental discipline and emotional equanimity
- to learn self-defense skills
- to develop a sense of responsibility for one self and others.
