What Taekwondo means: Taekwondo is an empty-hand combat form that entails the use of the whole body. Tae means "to Kick" or "Smash with the feet," Kwon implies "punching" or "destroying with the hand or fist," and Do means "way" or "method." Taekwondo is a combat for self defence that involves the skilful application of techniques that include punching, jumping kicks, blocks, dodges, parrying actions with hands and feats. It is more than a physical fighting skill, representing as it does a way of thinking and a pattern of life requiring and strict discipline. It is a system of training both the mind and the body.
History:
Taekwondo came to Denmark in 1968, from Netherlands. It was to Dutchmen instructors who started to taught it on a camping place. Taekwondo is a martial art that in "today’s" form of self defence has evolved by combining many different styles of martial arts that existed in Korea over the last 2,000 years and some martial arts styles from countries that surround Korea. Taekwondo incorporates the abrupt linear movements of Karate and the flowing, circular patterns of Kung-fu with native kicking techniques. Over fifty typically Chinese circular hand movements can be identified in modern Taekwondo. A few of the earlier martial arts styles that contributed to Taekwondo are: T'ang-su, Taek Kyon, also known as Subak, Tae Kwon, Kwonpup and Tae Kwonpup. There are also influences from Judo, Karate, and Kung-fu.
