For individuals who would like to strengthen your body and mind, learn to defend yourself, boost your confidence and enhance your self-respect, Taekwondo could be the perfect pastime or fitness activity.

Most people in Colwyn Bay would imagine that the fast punching, high kicking movements demanded by Taekwondo are more suited to young kids. There's no doubt that the younger generation are more equipped to cope with the physical demands of this high energy sport, but this doesn't mean that people of every age cannot participate. Being fairly fit and agile does however help you to enjoy all the complexities of Taekwondo.

Based primarily around kicking manoeuvres and moves like fast kicking techniques, jumping/turning kicks and head kicks, Taekwondo was created from the practices of different martial arts, by a number of Seoul martial arts specialists in new schools known as "Kwans" during the nineteen forties and fifties. These "Kwans" were given the names Changmu Kwan, Jido Kwan, Chungdo Kwan, Songmu Kwan and Mooduk Kwan.

Taekwondo has become extremely popular in Colwyn Bay and all across the globe, with over sixty million participants worldwide.
