About TaeKwonDo
As martial arts go, TaeKwonDo is relatively new. It came out of Korea in the aftermath of World War II. In Korean, the name translates to “the Way (Do) of the Foot (Tae) and Fist (Kwon).” After Korea’s Japanese occupation, the schools of martial arts could practice in open again. TaeKwonDo came out of an informal amalgamation of those that remembered older Korean and Chinese forms, Taekkyon, Subak, Gwonbeop, and the Okinawan Karate. TaeKwonDo’s emphasis is onside kicks, spinning kicks, head-height kicks, and striking.

The Many Benefits of TaeKwonDo
Practicing TaeKwonDo strengthens you as a whole person. The benefits you experience can be as direct and obvious as getting more substantial or unintended, like a sharpening of your focus and concentration. Some are happy side effects like an increase in self-discipline. However, martial arts does primarily aim to build character.
Character
The five fundamental tenets of our dojo are honor, humility, perseverance, respect, and loyalty. Tiger-Rock demands and trains discipline into our students. The rigorous training requires it and builds self-restraint.
Probably the greatest takeaway we want one of our students to have from our dojo is integrity. The self-discipline and the mental and physical benefits one might wish to gain from practicing TaeKwonDo can only be accomplished by keeping oneself accountable. You cannot cheat your way to the result you want.
Another way of finding integrity in TaeKwonDo is understanding that it provides techniques of self-defense. We are not teaching violence, of course. Instead, they are self-restraint methods to neutralize aggression and violence in both an attacker and the self. In all ways, TaeKwonDo means to teach and train acceptable moral practices.

TaeKwonDo is a full-body workout that provides you benefits in all components of fitness: cardiovascular health, muscular strength, muscular endurance, flexibility, and body composition.
Cooperation and Competition
Taekwondo is not only a martial art. Even more, it has been an official sport in the Olympics since 2000. On top of that, there are significant tournaments through the World TaeKwonDo Federation and International TaeKwon-Do Federation. Tiger-Rock Martial Arts host three competitions a year, in the Fall, Spring, and Summer. Plus, our training is perfect for preparing for your place in a regional, state, or national tournament.
Our students are continually working with and alongside one another. They switch off, setting up drills for one another. Also, they breed a competitive spirit between each other that always drives them to be better than yesterday.
Anti-Bullying
We need to take bullying seriously. And it is essential to acknowledge that it can happen to anyone and anywhere, in school, in the neighborhood, or online. It creates trauma and is a constant source of anxiety for a child, ebbing away at self-esteem and self-confidence.
But one can deal with and overcome bullying, and martial arts is an excellent way to gain an edge over this mountain. Once again, TaeKwonDo is not about violence but a study of self-defense and self-restraint. The critical facets of our anti-bullying education are awareness, communication, and self-defense. For example, stances, tone, and diction that convey confidence can avoid an escalated bully situation at all. However, if your child finds themselves in danger, they have the tools to defend themselves with.
