Fort Bend Taekwondo
Taekwondo literally means the art of kicking and punching, or a more general meaning would be the “art of unarmed combat.” “Tae” means “foot” or “kick or jump,” “Kwon” means “fist,” or “to block or strike,” and finally “Do” means “the way of” or “art.”
Before the first-century, Taekwondo originated in Korea, specifically in the Koguryo kingdom, but the Silla’s Hwarang warriors were credited for spreading it around the country.
Silla was the smallest kingdom of the country at that time and was constantly attacked by the Japanese pirates. The warriors were given military aid from King Gwanggaeto from the Koguryo kingdom to drive out the pirates.
Select Silla warriors were trained in Taekkyon, which is the original art form of Taekwondo. Taekkyon trained warriors became known as HwaRang warriors who studied Buddhism, Confucian philosophy, ethics, and much more. This is such an interesting art because all of their combat stemmed from knowledge, spirituality, and physical strength!
