Taekwondo is the Korean art of self
defense designed for people of all ages. Literally translated,
it means "foot-hand way." Taekwondo's roots
date back to over 2000 years with a history rich in Asian philosophy.
There is, however, much more to it than kicking and punching.
It is designed as a non-violent defensive system, a holistic
practice and a way of life. Practitioners can benefit from Taekwondo
in a variety of ways: physically, by developing flexibility,
good coordination and a strong body. Mentally, by building self-confidence,
exercising good judgement and nurturing a sound mind. Philosophically,
by learning respect, to help others and to be forthright by embracing
the standards espoused by the ancient Oriental classics. .
Taekwondo, therefore, is a traditional
martial art, a guide for the formation of outstanding character
and a modern sport supported by an ancient philosophy. Taekwondo
is currently the fastest growing martial art in the world today.
The Chosun Taekwondo Academy takes advantage of this remarkable
history and popularity by offering a curriculum steeped in traditional
instruction and cultivation of Ki, the internal life force. Through
proper Ki development, the student will enjoy amplified performance
as a martial artist, prolonged health and a greater sense of
well-being. Another goal is that of self-determination. Through
the sincere practice of Taekwondo, the diligent student will
ultimately develop the ability to walk life's path unhindered
and confident thus plotting their own unique and honorable course
for the future.
