TAEKWON-DO
A sport activity for the whole family

 gaining ultimate use of its facilities through intensive physical and mental training. Taekwon-Do is a very effective and spectacular marital art which is an integral part of Korean society. Taekwon-Do was founded in South Korea on April 11 th 1955, by Major General Choi Hong Hi. It was introduced into the U.K. in 1967.
?Tae? to jump or to fly, to kick or smash with the foot.
?Kwon? denotes the fist, chiefly to punch or destroy with the hand or fist.
?Do? means the way or ?Art?. |

reduction.

Anyone can attain a black belt, regardless of age, but must be prepared to commit some time in training in order to achieve that level.
The most important aspect of training is not necessarily the best acquisition but the personal growth and satisfaction of making progress at a comfortable pace without injuries.

Black Belt Grading October 2008 at the
WUMA HQ.
Well done to Rhianydd Reynolds, Sarah Panes and Gary Luce
for completing the two day seminar and a gruelling 3 hour grading.
It was a brilliant weekend and I'm sure once again there were a lot of new friends made. Clubs came from as far away as Scotland to take part , the atmosphere was electric and everybody supported and helped each other throughout.
Our thanks to Master Hopkins and all the Instructors who helped put us through one of the most challenging moments of our lives. Well done to everybody who took part.
Now the waiting begins.
