Technique, co-ordination and concentration are key in this ancient Korean fighting art, which received its official name Taekwondo (tae meaning kick with feet, kwon meaning destroying with hands and do meaning art) in 1955.
Mayflower Primary School’s Taekwondo Club was started in 2002 and today has more than 80 members under its wing. Pupils in this club learn discipline, courtesy towards seniors and peers, and fitness training, while mastering the basic kicks and training for the different belt colours.
We train once a week, on Fridays, from 7.30 a.m. to 9.30 a.m. Emphasis on training is towards self defense and pattern movements, not the more aggressive sparring. It is hoped that the pupils will learn the basics and go on to pursue the more advanced skills in Secondary School.
