Philosophy: Overview

Tae Kwon Do is referred to as a "martial art" or "martial way." However, in today's world it has been developed into a "martial sport" with a global following. Tae Kwon Do is a set of self-defense techniques using the bare hands and feet, as such it is a fighting art. However, the main objective of training is not simply to learn how to fight and maintain one's balance. Tae Kwon Do training focuses on learning hand and feet techniques, bringing the mind and spirit into harmony, and improving one's physical condition.

Tae Kwon Do masters, instructors and students do what they do for their mental and physical well being.

 

Tae Kwon Do training, above all else, stresses the struggle to cultivate the self. Patience and selfdiscipline are won through tough, repeated physical training. The practitioner is exposed to a life philosophy, with the first goal being to achieve harmony between mind and body; then harmony with other people, nature and, ultimately, the universe.
