Cowdenbeath Taekwondo (KY4): If you have been thinking about taking up a hobby to achieve some specific goals such as to enhance your self-respect, learn self-defence, strengthen your body and mind and boost your confidence, Taekwondo could be just the thing for you. A more modern martial art, Taekwondo was first developed in the 1940's and 50's in Korea.
Because Taekwondo has quite high physical demands, it's perhaps more suited to the younger generation in Cowdenbeath. That's not to say that the older generation cannot participate in this activity, but just that there could be alternative martial arts that are more suited to the less agile of us. Tai Chi would be the perfect example.
Taekwondo is a martial art that primarily involves high-kicking manoeuvres and moves, most notably head-height kicks, fast kicking strategies and spinning/jumping kicks. It began in Seoul, in southern Korea during the 1940's, when a number of martial arts specialists established schools called "kwans", which blended various martial arts techniques.
Now an Olympic sport, Taekwondo has over sixty million followers all over the world, and though you might not have any aspirations to be an Olympic Games sportsman, you can still enroll in a Taekwondo class or club to master what will no doubt prove to be a fascinating and rewarding pastime.
In these times of increasing violence, it's little surprise that people in places like Cowdenbeath are signing up for self-defence techniques such as Taekwondo to help them to feel safer and more secure in their local environment. The self-defence element is one of the primary factors of Taekwondo but it also teaches self-restraint and a respect for others around us, which are disciplines that are frequently absent in modern day life.
While it will give you peace of mind knowing that you have those self-defence skills in your locker, the chances are that you'll never have to test them outside of an organised Taekwondo class.
