Definition of TKD

General Choi Hong Hi: "To put it simply Taekwon-Do is a version of unarmed combat designed for the purpose of self-defence. It is more than just that, however. It is the scientific use of the body in the method of self-defence; a body that has gained the ultimate use of its facilities through intensive physical and mental training..." more

Patterns

The student systematically deals with several imaginary opponents under various assumptions, using every available attacking and blocking tool from different directions.
