TRADITIONAL TAEKWONDO
THE ART OF HANDS AND FEET
The style of Taekwondo, or the art of the feet and hands dates back to 50 B.C. Originally it was taught to the Hwarang soldiers for devastating fighting techniques on the battlefield. These soldiers were revered in their respective villages and towns for their superior fighting skills, and their moral lifestyle and code of ethics (not for their ability to win trophies and medals). Taekwondo has a rich tradition of skill. Skills are based upon devastating kicks, hand strikes, blocks, and other self-defense skills useful in a variety of situations. This art also has a sport and Olympic version which is the National Sport of Korea. In our school we train in the traditional Martial Art focusing on Self-Defense. Our students are encouraged to participate in competitions and tournaments, however this is not the focus of our school and it is not mandatory.
In modern society we are all at risk of crime, home invasions, ATM robberies, RAPE, child abduction, car-jacking, etc. Taewondo is taught at Royal Dragon Martial Arts as the traditional art of the hands and feet and with great respect for its history, tradition and self-defense skills. This art was not created to win trophies, it was created as a system of self-improvement and self-defense. Tournaments are fun, and there are those students who are comfortable with the Martial Arts competing. Other students are practicing the Martial Arts for the Art, and for the personal benefits. Our main school focus is self-defense, and self-improvement. Our instructors apply the art to our American culture in such a way that it is easy to understand, and fun to learn. All students progress at their own pace, are challenged enough to remain motivated without getting frustrated or discouraged. The result is a healthier stronger mind and body, and a more confident and safer individual. Experience the traditional Martial Art of Taekwondo at Royal Dragon Martial Arts.
