Taking up the art of Taekwondo is very rewarding. Outlined below is a brief overview of the style so you will be better able to assess whether the style suits you.
What Is Taekwondo?
Taekwondo is a fighting art from Korean that was forged by years of history and tradition. The art of Taekwondo is still fairly young, having been created in the 1950s however it was more a formalising of traditional korean fighting practices that have much deeper routes. This combination of new and old makes for an interesting style as it is always evolving.
Taekwondo History
Taekwondo is like most of the traditional arts having evolved over hundreds of years. As you progress with your technical learning you will also absorb the rich heritage and interesting past of this Korean art. For further information please visit the links below.
Features and Benefits
Punching, blocking and kicking techniques are the bedrock of Taekwondo but there are also additional elements such as respect and control that make it ideal for kids. Later in the students study aerial maneuvers are taught that are the signature moves of the art. The new student will get other quicker benefits such as feeling fitter, being more flexible, and increasing self-confidence.
Taekwondo Belts
The new student starts at white belt and progresses through 10 Kups to reach their black belt of First Dan. Beyond this the student can progress through the Dan rankings.
The Kup grades alternate between a solid colour belt and a stripped belt in the order below:
- 10th Kup White
- 9th Kup White with Yellow Stripe
- 8th Kup Yellow
- 7th Kup Yellow with Green Stripe
- 6th Kup Green
- 5th Kup Green with Blue Stripe
- 4th Kup Blue
- 3rd Kup Blue with Red Stripe
- 2nd Kup Red
- 1st Kup Red with Black Stripe
- 1st Dan Black
How Long To Achieve Black Belt?
A club that is affiliated to a recognised body (such as WTF or ITF) should not give a black belt sooner than three years of regular training, there are clubs who can do it quicker but the ethos should be that the student has to earn the black belt not be given it.
Typical Training
A standard lesson should always include a 10-15 minute warm-up and stretching after which it can consist of any combination of the three fundamental elements of Taekwondo training (see below). If the session has been hard then a warm down will probably be necessary at the end.
Basic techniques (Kibon)
Basic techniques include various different punching, kicking and blocking techniques either performed on their own or in combination.
Sparring (Kyorugi)
Depending on the style this can be full, light or non-contact. However the student should progress from rigid basic sparring up to full freestyle as they advance in skill, beware a club that gets you full sparring from day one.
Patterns (Poomse)
Poomse are a sequence of set moves, they consist of multiple techniques designed to simulate a fight with multiple imaginary opponents but performed in a graceful way. As the student progress through the belts they will learn one pattern for each belt starting simple and getting more complex until they know 10 patterns for their black belt.
Conclusion - The above is a brief introduction to Taekwondo, if you feel it is for you then research the clubs in you local area and pick one that suits you and that you are comfortable with, an example of a good club site is Taekwondo Club Site for more on the history of taekwondo visit worldtaekwondo.com.
