Uniform Dobok

Taekwondo is a popular sport that existed since 50 B.C. This is a national sport in Korea that was first practiced and developed by an elite group of men who aim to protect and serve their kingdom. Tae means to kick using the foot, Kwon is to punch using the hand, and Do simply means art. To sum it up, it is defined as the art of the foot and the hand. There are over 150 countries that are influenced by this sport that it was now even part of the Olympic Games.

Being the most widely played type of martial arts, it works well to both male and female. People appreciate its leg and jumping strategies that serve as an effective way for self-defense. Aside from that, it instills mental discipline, self-control, integrity, and perseverance. Others try to make this activity as their dose to put away stress.

Learning the history of taekwondo and its proper execution are important as knowing more its uniform or better known as do bok. Do bok signifies the origin and tradition of taekwondo. Fighters are asked to have their uniforms neatly clean, well-pressed, and to carry it with dignity and respect. A major rule is to only wear the do bok on practices or n competitions. After using it, it is suggested that the fighter should change clothes and keep it since it should not be worn anywhere. Does it sound too strict? It actually doesn't end there. The belt has further precautions because it projects the dedication and determination the students earned during their training. The belt should only be put on when they are in the premises of the sparring area or the Do Jang. It is the same as the uniform that after practice, it should be taken off. If one does not follow these sacred rules, it is like disrespecting the whole being of taekwondo. As a matter of fact, on the early times even during water breaks or when eating, the belt should be removed. This really shows how they look up with its tradition and live by its rules. These practices want the students to understand what taekwondo is really all about and to also lean humility over power.

Taekwondo gives many advantages to those who are willing to train. Promoting flexibility in the body is an important aspect but the mental training is the primary benefit. Fighters will be able to have focus and it sharpens their decision making as well. All these elements will surely make one a balanced and well rounded individual.

A taekwondo uniform signifies the tradition and origin. It must be worn with full respect and dignity. Before training taekwondo make sure to know its totality and don't treat taekwondo uniforms as ordinary piece of clothing.
