Hindley Taekwondo (WN2): Introduced in the 1940's in Korea, South-East Asia, Taekwondo is a martial art that has grown in popularity in recent times. Well known as a way to bolster your self-esteem, learn some self-defence techniques, develop your mind and body and boost your confidence, it has been taken up by millions of fitness enthusiasts worldwide.
It's got to be said that Taekwondo can be fairly physically demanding, which can put off the less agile and more elderly people in Hindley from becoming involved. To be fair, the most common people participating in Taekwondo classes are kids and the younger generation, but of course older individuals who're in excellent physical health can easily participate and benefit considerably from this sport.
Based largely around kicking moves and manoeuvres like rapid kicking strategies, jumping/turning kicks and head-height kicks, Taekwondo was devised from the techniques of various diverse martial arts, by a number of Seoul martial arts experts in new schools called "Kwans" during the nineteen forties and fifties. These "Kwans" were given the names Changmu Kwan, Chungdo Kwan, Mooduk Kwan, Jido Kwan and Songmu Kwan.
These days an Olympic sport, Taekwondo has over 60 million practitioners all around the world, and while you may not have any aspirations to be an Olympic Games athlete, you are still able to register for a Taekwondo club or class to learn what will undoubtedly turn out to be a fascinating and rewarding activity.
It seems that the most appealing aspect of Taekwondo is self-defence. And when you consider the high levels of violence in town and city centres these days, this is hardly surprising. Learning to defend yourself while at the same time applying self-restraint and a respect for others is a key benefit of Taekwondo.
While its great to know they are there if you need them, with a bit of luck you will not ever have the need to use your newly learned Taekwondo techniques for defending yourself outside of your local club environment.
