Taekwondo

Taekwondo is performed in regular school hours in Sri Jayendra Matriculation Hr Sec School.

Taekwondo is a total learning activity. Lessons are tailored to your child’s age and skill level.

Your child begins by practicing basic patterns and forms, board breaking, kicking, blocking, striking, and punching.

These fundamental skills increase your child’s physical coordination, flexibility, balance, and mental acumen.

Taekwondo develops your child’s athletic abilities and self-awareness, and improves the child’s capabilities in self-defense.

Taekwondo is an ancient Korean art of self defence. Literally translated: Tae means Foot; Kwon means Hand or Fist; Do means way, method, art.

Taekwondo is characterized by its emphasis on head-height kicks, jumping and spinning kicks, and fast kicking techniques. In fact, World Taekwondo sparring competitions award additional points for strikes that incorporate spinning kicks, kicks to the head, or both.

To facilitate fast, turning kicks, taekwondo generally adopts stances that are narrower and taller than the broader, wide stances used by martial arts such as karate.
