Taekwon-Do Classes in Stroud

---

Taekwon-Do is a refined version of an ancient form of unarmed combat that has been practised for many centuries in the orient. This martial arts training became perfected in its present form in Korea, thanks to the founder, Major General Choi Hong Hi, a 9th Degree black belt. The term 'Taekwon-Do' translates from Korean where 'Tae' signifies jumping or kicking with the foot, 'Kwon' refers to a fist mainly used for punching or smashing, and 'Do' means art, way, or method.
