What you can Learn in this Martial Art
Self Defense
Self defense is one of the first important things my instructor got us to learn. When learning a martial art, it is important to always remember not to use what you've learned against someone. Thats you should just use in minimally in self defense.
Training Patterns
Other than learning self defense, we also learned some patterns. These patterns are a way of learning groups of movements and learning how to manage the space around you.
Language
Taekwondo is from Korea so a lot of the instructions and pattern names are in the Korean language. We also incorporate some of the bowing and ways of addressing people from the culture too.
