Tae Kwon Do

"The way of the hand and foot."

"Tae Kwon Do is a version of unarmed combat designed for the purpose of self-defence.  It is the scientific use of the body in the method of self-defence; a body that has gained the ultimate use of it's facilities through intensive physical and mental training.  It is a martial art with the discipline, technique and mental training to build a strong sense of justice, fortitude, humility and resolve.  It is a way of thinking and a way of life, enabling the weak to possess a fine weapon to defend themselves.  it is the martial training and the physical techniques of unarmed combat, for self-defence as well as health, involving the skilled application of punches, kicks, blocks and dodges with bare hands and feet to the rapid destruction of the opponent or opponents."
