Today maedeup class was cancelled so I went with Curt to his Tae Kwon Do class. Most weeks, it's just Curt and his instructor, but this week we were thrilled to see lots of kids! The little boy in this picture demonstrated a bunch of Tae Kwon Do moves for us. He was incredibly talented!Photo op! Can you say "Kimchi?"This little guy got a thrill and so did Curt.
Isn't it wonderful? I wish I can do like that.Taekwondo (also spelled tae kwon do or taekwon-do) is a martial art originating in Korea. Having become the most widely practiced martial art in the world, it is the national sport of Korea as well as an Olympic sporting event. In Korean, derived from hanja, tae (è·†) means "foot"; kwon (拳) means "fist"; and do (é“) means "way". Hence, taekwondo is loosely translated as "the way of the hand and foot" or more loosely, "the art of kicking and punching". Taekwondo's popularity has resulted in the divergent evolution of the martial art. As with many other martial arts, taekwondo is a combination of combat technique, self-defense, sport, exercise, entertainment, and philosophy. Although there are great doctrinal and technical differences among public and private taekwondo organizations, the art in general emphasizes kicks thrown from a mobile stance, using the leg's greater reach and power to disable the opponent from a distance.
