Haydock Taekwondo (WA11): A Korean martial art that was formulated during the 1940's, Taekwondo has grown considerably in popularity since then. If you'd like to learn self-defence, build your confidence, develop your body and mind and bolster your self-respect, Taekwondo may be just the activity for you.
While not wanting to deter any particular age group, it should be said that Taekwondo is more suitable for younger people in Haydock, being quite physically demanding. Its teachings of self-discipline and respect for others make it especially appropriate for children. It could prove too challenging for some older adults, but should not be a problem for those who are already active and fit. However people in Haydock who get involved in Taekwondo at a young age, will find that continuing into older adulthood isn't a problem. Tai Chi or something similarly less strenuous might be more suited to the less nimble of you.
Based mostly around high-kicking manoeuvres like spinning/jumping kicks, fast kicking strategies and head-height kicks, Taekwondo was created from the practices of various diverse martial arts, by a number of Seoul martial arts experts in new schools known as "Kwans" in the nineteen forties and fifties. These "Kwans" were given the names Jido Kwan, Mooduk Kwan, Songmu Kwan, Chungdo Kwan and Changmu Kwan.
Taekwondo has become very popular in Haydock and all around the world, with over 60 million practitioners worldwide. Now an Olympic sport, Taekwondo is accessible to everyone, and joining a local Haydock Taekwondo club or class is the best way to get yourself involved. There is no reason why you cannot become a master of this exciting martial art, even if you do not aspire to Olympic competition.
It is the self-defence aspect of Taekwondo that generally has the most appeal to people in Haydock. You should not be surprised by this, when you take into account the high incidence of violence seen in today's town and city centres. However, exercising self-restraint and a respect for others goes hand in hand with the self-defence principles of Taekwondo.
While it will give you peace of mind knowing that you have such self-defence skills in your locker, the likelihood is you'll never be required to use them outside the controlled atmosphere of an organised Taekwondo class.
Your First Lesson
If you've just booked your very first Taekwondo lesson, you will be wondering what to expect. This could vary from class to class but will generally entail all or most of the following. A warm up of 15-20 minutes to increase your heart rate and reduce stiffness in your muscles, a bit of technical training comprising some stances, blocks, kicks and hand attacks, some work on forms or patterns, a look at sparring including movement, timing and the targeting of attacks, and to round off a warm down to stretch weary muscles and loosen up.
If you wish to sign up to a Taekwondo class in Haydock, you'll also have to become a member of the sport's governing body, namely British Taekwondo. You'll be able to find out about news, clubs and members, coaching courses, first aid, events, safe practices, equality and safeguarding, establishing a new Taekwondo club, coaches and referees, and more on British Taekwondo's website, or find out the latest news reports on their Twitter or Facebook page.

Beginners Taekwondo Haydock
As with any sport or activity we need to begin someplace, and Taekwondo is just the same. Even the the best of the Haydock Taekwondo masters were complete rookies at one time. So, what should you be expecting as a complete novice at Taekwondo? A beginners class should give its pupils ample coaching to teach them the fundamentals and enable them to develop confidence as they progress. A perfect beginners class should be fun as well as educational, when students are having fun they are far more committed and will learn much faster.
Taekwondo Competitions
Taekwondo tournaments and competitions are held all over the world in all of the various styles. There's generally not a lot of hard contact but breaking, sparring and patterns. Olympic and WT tournaments comprise only sparring, in ITF tournaments specified hand attacks are permitted to the head. Other organisations stage multi-discipline tournaments.
In Conclusion
So, what are you looking to get from doing Taekwondo? Well, that is an excellent question, and the answer to that will be different for individual people. The majority of participants will purely wish to improve their fitness levels, meet new people and gain more confidence.
