Tae Kwon-Do is an ancient Korean martial art. Many people practice Tae Kwon-Do for its self-defense benefits, but it is also an art and is studied and appreciated for its beauty and grace of movement. The spiritual aspect of Tae Kwon-Do is found in its philosophy of self-restraint, kindness and humility.

Traditional Tae Kwon-Do is the original style which differs from modernized forms and other martial arts in several ways: no physical contact is allowed in free sparring, it is more aerobic in training than other styles, and the emphasis is on each student’s own improvement rather than on competition with others.
