Why learn Tae Kwon Do?
Tae Kwon Do will help teach you, and develop within you, a feeling of personal security through physical fitness, poise, and grace. Most importantly, Tae Kwon Do will help develop peace of mind, a sense of self-discipline, and sense of self-confidence.
In general, two major aspects of your life will benefit from Tae Kwon Do - your mind and your body.
No one is born with a particularly strong body; it has to be developed. The body, like a machine, needs exercise and lubrication to keep it running smoothly. An important side effect of this is proper weight control. Tae Kwon Do provides the stimulus, the exercise, and the discipline for a lifetime of healthy activity.
Because Tae Kwon Do is nonviolent, patience and restraint in daily affairs must be cultivated. The misuse of this art would greatly endanger our society. Therefore, in seeking more deeply than physical cultivation alone, we strive for mental discipline, self-confidence, and the peace of mind which it brings.
