Taekwondo is the most popular form of martial art. It originated and was developed for over 20 centuries in Korea and has become a modern international sport. Taekwondo is a way to create spiritual and emotional balance through physical activities such as punching, kicking, blocking, throwing and locking. The intention of Taekwondo is to instil confidence.
