Tae Kwon Do translated literally, means the “Art of Kicking and Punching!” However, it is far more than that. It is a martial art that has no equal, in power, or in technique. Though it is a martial art, the discipline, technique, and mental training are the backbone for building a strong sense of justice, fortitude, humility, and resolve. It is this mental training that separates the true practitioner from the sensationalist, who is content with mastering only the fighting aspects of the art. The utmost purpose of Tae Kwon Do is to eliminate fighting by discouraging the strong’s oppression of the weak with a power that is based on humanity, morality, wisdom, and faith, thus helping to build a better, more peaceful world.
