• The modern Olympic sport of Taekwondo, originated
  in Korea from an ancient form of martial art.
  Boasting more than 2000 years of history, it has
  become an increasingly popular mental and
  physical discipline that today, is practiced by
  people of all ages, shapes and sizes, the world
  over.

• While many associate martial arts purely with
  self-defence, Taekwondo has so much more to teach
  us. Through learning it, you will of course be
  better able to defend yourself in the event of an
  assault, but you will also learn how to train
  your mind to cope better in times of stress, gain
  a body that becomes fit and toned and have more
  confidence in your everyday life. Below are
  3examples of what learning Taekwondo can help you
  achieve

• A healthy body
• Regularly practicing a martial art like
  Taekwondo, will help you to strengthen your
  entire body, from head to toe enabling you to
  achieve better muscle tone and giving you a body
  that feels sleek and flexible.
• There are also many stretching techniques, and
  breathing and concentration exercises involved in
  Taekwondo, and as you gradually learn them all,
  you will notice that your reflexes and ability to
  remain alert, will be heightened, along with an
  increased feeling of energy.

• A healthy mind
• In this fast paced, hectic world that we live in
  today, keeping a healthy mind can be easier said
  than done. Work can overwhelm us and active
  social lives mean that were often left feeling
  drained and unable to function as well as we
  might. Regular Taekwondo classes will give you an
  opportunity to escape the hustle and bustle, and
  focus solely on yourself, and in the calm
  environment, you will be able to think clearly.

• Exercising among other, like-minded people, will
  enable you to maintain a positive mental
  attitude, and help towards banishing any inner
  demons that you might possess. You will also be
  encouraged to eliminate any negative emotions and
  mindsets that you are prone to feeling, such as
  fear, jealousy and anger. Dedicated training and
  full commitment to Taekwondo could see your mind
  reach its full, positive potential.

• Classes will also ensure that you are able to
  develop greater patience, while giving you the
  confidence, self-discipline and inner calm to
  tackle most challenges that everyday life that
  can throw at you.
• The ability to defend yourself
• Learning a martial art can work wonders not only
  in teaching you how to physically defend
  yourself, but mentally, too. Hopefully you will
  never need to defend yourself against an attack,
  but it can be reassuring to know that if the
  worst should happen, you are well equipped to
  handle matters confidently.

• Rigorous and dedicated training will help you to
  learn the physical techniques that you will need,
  should you happen to face a potentially violent
  situation. Practicing these techniques until you
  can learn to use them with confidence, will help
  to decrease fear and intimidation levels within
  you, and you will become less inclined to see
  yourself as a victim throughout life in general.
• The mental techniques Taekwondo will teach you,
  go hand in hand with the physical ones, and as
  you work on your sense of inner calm and
  self-confidence, the two will emerge naturally,
  together. You will be able to face a threatening
  situation calmly, safe in the knowledge that you
  are well equipped to defend yourself.
