Taekwondo is a modern discipline that began in the 1950's and is now an Olympic competitive sport. It does, however, have heritage stretching far back into Korean history and draws many techniques and philosophies from older Korean arts including Tangsoodo and Hapkido. Taekwondo is probably best known for it's dramatic high spinning kicks and destruction techniques (breaking bricks, wooden boards, ice etc). These types of techniques are distinctly Korean, and were incorporated into the Japanese Karate (or more correctly Karate-Do) during the Japanese occupation of Korea. Because there are certain similarities between Taekwondo and Karate, Taekwondo is sometimes referred to as "Korean Karate".

Unlike many older martial arts from the far east, Taekwondo bases it's techniques on modern scientific principles to ensure effectiveness in causing maximum damage to an opponent and minimum damage to the Taekwondo student. It is often said that certain styles of Karate are most effective at damaging the student, rather than the opponent.

The Taekwondo student should embrace these virtues:

                     Etiquette, Modesty, Perseverance, Self Control and Indomitable Spirit
