Translated, Taekwondo means “Art of the hand and foot”, and originally comes from Korea where it is still practiced as a national sport. Taekwondo was founded in 1953 and is the most practiced martial art in the world today. Its roots, however, are based on techniques tested for thousands of years. Today there are millions of people practicing Taekwondo worldwide. Everyone can benefit from Taekwondo training. Taekwondo has practicing students from four years old into their eighties. In Taekwondo, one gains increased flexibility, strength, timing and coordination – while acquiring a valuable means of self–defense. Taekwondo also instills self–discipline and self–confidence. The Hwa–Rang Taekwondo Federation version of the Chang Hun Ryu forms is both dynamic and powerful. These forms are the foundation of both a teaching system and student development.
