Taekwon-do Benefits

Theory of Power (Him Ui Woolli)

The beginning student may ask; “Where does one obtain the power to create the devastating results attributed to Taekwon-Do?” This power is attributed to the utilization of a person’s full potential through the mathematical application of Taekwon-Do techniques. The average person uses only 10 to 20 percent of his potential. Anyone, regardless of size, age, or sex who can condition himself to use 100 percent of his potential can also perform the same destructive techniques.

Though training will certainly result in a superb level of physical fitness, it will not necessarily result in the acquisition of extraordinary stamina or superhuman strength. More important, Taekwon-Do training will result in obtaining a high level of reaction force, concentration, equilibrium, breath control and speed; these are the factors that will result in a high degree of physical power.

Other benefits

  • Senior citizens can maintain mobility of their joints.
  • Our objective is to ensure that all our students develop strong bodies, minds and spirits though good training habits that will last a lifetime.
  • Like many things worthwhile, Taekwon-Do training requires a long-term commitment. After a few lessons, you will know several fundamental self-defence techniques and some Taekwon-Do basics which, if practiced regularly, can help you become more physically fit, confident and capable of defending yourself should the need arise.
  • Students recite the Creighton’s Taekwon-Do School Creed-promising “to become the best possible person” they can be. They learn to say “NO” to drugs and other negative influences and say “YES” to developing positive values, achieving good grads and maintaining healthy relationships with friends, family and their community.
  • TaeKwon-Do emphasizes not only a strict self-imposed discipline along with the spirit of co-operation and mutual respect but also teaches patience and the resolve to overcome any difficulty.

Taekwon-do & Mental Effect

Taekwon-Do is an art that implies a way of thinking and life, and particularly in instilling moral civilization and generating the power for justice. Taekwon-Do is also known as one of the best means of developing and enhancing the emotional, perceptual and psychological characteristics that enable the younger generation, regardless of age, social status or sex, to effectively learn and participate in the social demands of his peers.

Every movement of Taekwon-Do is scientifically designed with a specific purpose and a skillful instructor may, therefore, develop in the student a belief that success is possible for anyone.

Constant repetition teaches patience and the resolve to overcome any difficulty. The tremendous power generated from one’s body develops the self-confidence to meet any opponent, at any place, and in any situation. Sparring teaches humility, courage, alertness, and accuracy, adaptability as well as self-control.

The pattern teaches flexibility, grace, balance, and coordination, while the fundamental exercises develop precision and teach the method, principle, imagination, and purpose. Eventually, this training permeates every conscious and subconscious action of the student.
