Taekwon-do is the name of a self-defence system that has developed into a modern, international martial arts. Taekwon-do consists of three words. Tae - which means foot / jump. Kwon - which means hand / art. Do - which means the mental and physical way to use the foot and the hand in fighting, self-defence and daily life.
Taekwon-do has its tradition in Korea. The people, who had been sub-
ordinated in the feudal society since time immemorial, was banned possession of arms. To be able to defend themselves without weapons,
they developed a variety of movements and foot techniques.
All movements are carried out in the defensive spirit. From this historical basis, Taekwon-do developed into a modern martial art that gives the practitioner self-confidence and also makes him more generous when meeting with weaker individuals.

The teaching style is adjusted to the child's age / maturity level / experience.
The teaching, especially for small children, is designed in a playful way. The idea is that everyone will have fun! Through the play, they eventually learn the movements.
