Health Benefits
Tae Kwon Do offers an intensive and varied workout with an emphasis on body strengthening.
This
is important if a student wishes to learn a realistic self defence, and also be able to practice and execute good Tae Kwon Do technique.
There are many other health benefits including:
-
It enables the student to learn a level of focus, and concentration on
defensive techniques.
-
A high level of stamina, cardio-vascular fitness and endurance to
strengthen the immune system can be achieved. This is important for a
martial artist.
-
Students with asthma can improve their
condition through Tae Kwon Do.
-
The overall training programme helps to improve the body's range of
movement.
-
Less injuries are encountered in the "dojang" than on
a squash
court.
-
The stretching programme prevents ageing and helps muscular or joint
problems which arise from sport.
-
Develops good posture and balance, that
otherwise diminishes with ageing.
-
Through the development of chi (our internal energy) the body can heal

awareness, and focus which can alleviate stress.
