Hoylake Taekwondo (CH47): Developed in the 1940's in Korea, Taekwondo is a martial art which has grown in popularity in recent times. Recognized as a means by which to develop your body and mind, build your confidence, learn some self-defence techniques and enhance your self-esteem, it's been embraced by many millions of people around the world.
Taekwondo is generally much more physically demanding than for example Tai Chi, so unless you're pretty agile and fit you may prefer to find something a little bit gentler to improve your fitness levels in Hoylake. Children are clearly an ideal participants for Taekwondo classes in Hoylake, with lots of fast movements going on and a great deal of high kicking.
Taekwondo is one of the more recently introduced of the martial arts, with its beginnings in Korea, South-East Asia in 1945. A group of Korean martial artists in Seoul established some new schools known as "kwans", combining many different martial arts techniques. Taekwondo, which was ultimately called, largely involves high-kicking manoeuvres, especially rapid kicking techniques, spinning/jumping kicks and head kicks.
These days an Olympic sport, Taekwondo has more than 60 million practitioners all over the world, and whilst you might not have any ambitions to be an Olympic Games sportsman, you are still able to enroll in a Taekwondo class or club to learn what will undoubtedly turn out to be a worthwhile and intriguing pastime.
A key element of Taekwondo is self-defence, and doubtless this is one of the primary reasons that individuals in Hoylake sign up to classes and take up the sport. There has been a disconcerting increase in violent practices over the last few years and this is particularly prevalent in city and town centres throughout Merseyside and the nation in general. The fantastic thing about Taekwondo though, is that it also promotes self-discipline and respect for other people, not such familiar characteristics in Hoylake these days.
While it is nice to know that you can defend yourself any time you need to, you should be hoping that you never need to do this outside of your local Taekwondo club environment.

If Taekwondo is not a sport that you have ever had a go at previously, you will likely be wondering what you should be expecting from your first class if you make up your mind to sign up. Different Taekwondo schools in Hoylake have varying ideas about this but roughly; you will take part in a 15-20 minute warm-up, you'll do a certain amount of technical training, you will learn some forms (patterns), you'll practice sparring techniques and finally you will do a warm-down to help your body get back into a relaxed state again.

Taekwondo Forms (Poomse)

A "form" is indicated by specific aspects of Taekwondo including stance, direction and technique. Getting to grips with such sequences is a key part of perfecting Taekwondo.
