What is Tae Kwon Do?

Taekwondo is known for its emphasis on kicking techniques, which distinguishes it from martial arts such as karate or southern styles of kung fu. The rationale is that the leg is the longest and strongest weapon a martial artist has, and kicks thus have the greatest potential to execute powerful strikes without successful retaliation.

Physically, taekwondo develops strength, speed, balance, flexibility, and stamina, as well as developing a focus on mental and ethical discipline, justice, etiquette, respect, and self-confidence.

Classes

Classes are available in the Lochgelly Town Hall every Tuesday and Thursday from around 6:50pm. The first session is provided completely free of charge and it is recommended to wear loose fitting ‘track suit’ type clothing. Also note that footwear is not required for the classes as it is carried out in bare feet.

Classes are available for youths (male & female) aged 8 and upwards. The organiser is also considering creating a class titled “little ninjas” for the 5-8 year olds.
