Physical fitness and flexibility are not necessary for practicing Taekwondo. People with poor flexibility only make slow progress in leg press, but no matter how old they are, they can open their ligaments as long as they practice hard.

06 taekwondo common sense

Introduction of WTF Taekwondo (that is, World Taekwondo Federation Taekwondo) originated from South Korea, a friendly neighbor of China. Together with China Wushu, Japanese Karate and Thai Muay Thai, it is called the four major fighting techniques in Asia. After Taekwondo became an official event of the Olympic Games, it was called the world's first fighting sport by the world.

Taekwondo practitioners not only learn Taekwondo techniques, but also pay attention to the study of Taekwondo etiquette and moral cultivation. Every practice requires "starting with ceremony and ending with ceremony" to cultivate people's etiquette, integrity, patience and perseverance.

The ratio of male and female taekwondo practitioners is basically the same, which is suitable for both men and women. They are usually young people and teenagers, and many middle-aged enthusiasts participate in the practice. Among them, 30% are below 14, 60% are below 14-28, and 0% are over 28 years old.

Benefits of practicing Taekwondo

WTF adopts advanced training methods to gradually improve the comprehensive ability of practitioners, such as flexibility and coordination, attention, flexibility, speed, strength, reaction, self-confidence, attack and defense, endurance and so on. At the same time, it can also reduce fat, beautify the body, release the pressure of study and work, and enhance physical fitness.

Will practicing Taekwondo delay work or study?

In the early days of practicing Taekwondo, people who usually do little exercise will feel sore limbs in the first week. This is because the acidic substances stored in the body react through exercise stimulation. After a week, this feeling began to fade, the body gradually adapted, and the spirit and physical strength were obviously enhanced. It is the best tonic for people who are under great pressure from study and work.

To a certain extent, it can also make people's attention more concentrated, and parents of students generally react, and students' daily life has become more and more regular. In addition, twice a week 1.5 hours of training time will not have a great impact on normal work and life. Sitting in front of the computer and TV for three hours a week can achieve the purpose of exercising.

Compared with karate and other fighting events, Taekwondo is more self-defense or actual combat function?

Taekwondo, like other fighting events, is a martial arts event from a practical point of view, but its style is different. Taekwondo is famous for its leg technique, and its gorgeous leg technique ranks first among all martial arts from the aesthetic point of view, which is suitable for middle and long distance fighting. The unique integration of Wushu, Sanda and self-defense in Taekwondo teaching makes up for the close combat technology, so its actual effect is higher than that of ordinary competitive Taekwondo, and it is not lost to other fighting events, which is beautiful and gorgeous.

In fact, any martial arts or fighting has its own advantages, just depending on the attitude of the practitioners. Who is strong and who is weak is not based on what you have learned, but depends on the level of the practitioners.

10 What is the cycle of learning Taekwondo (how long and to what extent)?

Usually you can master the basic leg, footwork and defense methods after practicing for three months. After practicing for about two years, you can reach the red belt, which is the second level of taekwondo. If you need to be promoted, you can apply to the curator or coach. After a period of special training, you can apply for a black belt from the relevant units. After being promoted to the black belt for a period of time, you can continue to be promoted to a higher position through training.

Learning Taekwondo is like practicing calligraphy. The more you practice, the more refined you become. It is not an overnight craze, but a long-term pursuit, constantly surpassing itself to reach a higher level, with no end.

Novices can lose weight, be curious, and pursue health or self-defense effects; But as a true Taekwondo person, choosing Taekwondo means choosing a life attitude and an eternal pursuit.
