Taekwon-do
What is Taekwon-do ?
The dynamic Korean martial art of Taekwon-do was officially inaugurated on 11th April 1955, following considerable research and development, mostly within the Korean Army.
​
From it’s original inception as a military martial art, designed for close quarter combat, the global popularity of Taekwon-do has exploded with literally millions of people participating across the world. Today, Taekwon-do is incorrectly viewed by many people as just a competitive Olympic sport, with little or no other benefits.
​
At Renegade Martial Arts however we are dedicated to teaching Taekwon-do as we believe it was originally intended, a complete martial art for self defence.
Our Taekwon-do Philosophy
We retain a strong traditional root within our Taekwon-do teaching and as such we are dedicated towards teaching Taekwon-do as a military martial art as it was originally developed and conceived.
​
We couple our traditional view with 21st century training methodologies and extensive experience of delivering fitness and exercise, to make our Taekwon-do classes beneficial for all.
​
Our Taekwon-do classes provides all participants a path towards the development of physical, psychological and spiritual strengths.
What will I learn?
Our Taekwon-do syllabus covers all the major aspects of Taekwon-do as taught in the larger global federations, such as patterns, competitive sparring & destruction.
However, we also place a strong emphasis on areas that are often neglected, including pattern interpretation (patterns contain strikes, locks, throws & pressure point techniques), pattern application (teaching the correct methods of applying the techniques found within the patterns) & street orientated self defence.
Taekwon-do for us is a complete martial art of self defence, which includes techniques in all ranges.
