Taekwon-Do history

Taekwon-Do, or ITF Taekwon-Do, is a martial art that originated from Korea. It was founded on April 11, 1955, by General Choi Hong Hi, who wanted to share this martial art with the whole world.
It teaches students not only how to use their feet and fists, but also how to be respectful, courageous, and disciplined.

ITF stands for “International Taekwon-Do Federation.”
It is a major organization established to promote Taekwon-Do worldwide.

During classes, students learn kicking, punching and blocking techniques, and also self-defence, sparring and forms called “tuls.” They also learn to respect others and build self-confidence.

Today, children and adults practice ITF Taekwon-Do in many countries around the world.
