Content

A. Taekwondo and basic techniques

Taekwondo (also known as Tae Kwon Do) is the art of self-defence that originated in Korea. It is recognized as one of the oldest forms of martial arts in the world, reaching back over 2,000 years. The name was selected for its appropriate description of the art: Tae   (foot), Kwon   (hand), Do   (art).

Contract games I

Straight Punch

The fist starts from a chamber on the hip and is then pushed straight forward. The effect is made on the two big knuckles.

Low square

This is the primary block you learn in Taekwondo. Put your fist to your opposite shoulder, at that point clear it down before the pelvis, stopping on or just bats the same side leg of the blocking arm.

Front Kick

The front kick is the foundation of each kick in Taekwondo. Pretty much every kick starts with the front kick chamber. All the significant kicking standards are found out there.

Knife Hand Strike

This is the karate chop. It tends to be down towards the outside, with the palm facing down. Or on the other hand, it tends to be done towards within, with the palm facing up. You have an effect on the “meat” or “knife” of the hand. Normally focuses on the trachea, side of the neck, or temple.

Back Fist Strike

It tends to be an outward movement to the head or flipping movement to the philtrum underneath the nose.

Inside square

An internal clearing movement to ensure the body by hitting attacks off to the side.

 

Side Kick

Every individual will pass judgment on your general capacity in Taekwondo depending on this ONE kick. Performed off the back leg, as a “simple” forward kick, the side kick expects you to bring the leg the whole distance to your side, at that point to push it straight forward.

Face Block

Shoot your arm up and point, stopping it simply over your brow. It should look like a rooftop or a church steeple. This wards off strikes and secures your head. It is also useful for weapon defence.

Round Kick

Seemingly the most well-known kick of every martial art. Quick and super, useful in fighting. Taekwondo has a one of a kind strategy for executing the round kick.

B. Importance of taekwondo

1. It Boosts Self Esteem

2. It helps for self-control and discipline

3. It enhances socialization skills

4. Physical Fitness and Activity

5. It improves athleticism

C. Safety rules and regulations of officiating in taekwondo

1. Do not wear jewellery or watches during training.

2. Tie your hair if you have long hair; use a hairband if you have medium length hair during training.

3. Keep your finger and toenails short for sparring.

4. Do not chew gum while training. It is not only disrespectful to your Master and your classmates but it is also a choking hazard.

5. Make sure to wear all your sparring gear including your mouthguard and groin guard in sparring classes (especially in Competitive Sparring Classes).
