Through the coordination of control, balance, and technique in Tae Kwon Do forms, Tae Kwon Do is regarded as a beautiful and highly skilled Oriental Art. Through the demonstration of Tae Kwon Do forms, you will see the skill and technique required to produce a perfect form (Hyung).
Tae Kwon Do as a Sport
As a sport, Tae Kwon Do is rapidly taking its place in the world sports arena. Blocking, kicking, and punching techniques all contribute to making Tae Kwon Do one of the most exciting competitive sports. Tremendous skill and control are required in Tae Kwon Do. Its challenge lies in the proficient use of the techniques, yet without having any heavy body contact. Because of this refrain from bodily contact, contrary to popular belief, injuries are infrequent and minor, which makes Tae Kwon Do safer than most other sports.
