Taekwondo originated in Korea centuries ago and is one of the most popular and effective martial arts in the world.
Taekwondo, based on the Yin-Yang theory of Asian philosophy is a physical expression of the human will for survival and activity to fulfill the spiritual desire of all beings. With its stress on the coordination of Dan-Jun Breathing with body movements, Taekwondo can improve the cardiac, circulatory and respiratory systems and may also improve digestion and metabolism, as well as developing "Ki" (your inner, innate energy).
Physically, one can develop coordination, agility and muscle tone while generating energy in every organ of the body to help maintain excellent health and staying in shape through continuous training.
Mentally, Taekwondo transforms ones character into a strong spirit which provides confidence, patience and modesty, helping one to gain outstanding personality and become a leader of society.
Taekwondo is based on the philosophical concept of the "Yin-
Yang", which evolved thousands of years ago in Asia. Under
this concept, everything is "bi-polarized". For example,, the
universe consists of the earth and heavens, unlimited in space
and circular in motion. The (Yang) followed by night (Yin) in
perpetuity. Similarly, a person consists of body and mind, though endless in soul, can be considered a microcosm, a small universe including motion and stillness, emptiness and fullness, hardness and softness. Therefore, the universe or the microcosm is the world of change and cooperation, the world of conflict and coordination.
Since Taekwondo springs from the "Yin-Yang" philosophy, the student should comprehend the basic principle of Taekwondo which are composed of motion and stillness, fullness and emptiness, and hardness and softness, in acocrdance with the thought of "Yin-Yang". So the person who practices it continuously will enjoy the most natural state, the ultimate harmony of "Yin-Yang", balanced physical and mental health and a long life.
