Taekwondo
[TBODY]
[/TBODY]
1. ................ Taekwondo is the Korean name for the “art of foot and hand fighting”. There is no
other man martial art style like it and none is so enjoyable in its freedom of expression. Jumping
and spinning in the air and striking out with hands and feet are its special characteristics. These can
be wonderful to perform and great to watch. Today there are more than twenty million practitioners
of Teakwondo and the numbers are growing quickly.
2 ................ The history of martial arts is the subject of much discussion and there are many
theories concerning its origins. China, Japan, Korean and Idia all have strong claims to the
beginnings of unarmed combat, while fighting skills were a natural deveopment throughtout the
world for self- protection. Teakwondo itself began in Korean, a country which has a tradition of
martial arts that goes back more than two thousand years.
3. ............... If you have visited a traditional Karate class and found it too formal or even military
in its approach, you will recognize that Taekwondo is more modern in the way things are done.
5
None of the politeness or discipline you would expect in a martial arts club is missing, but there is
an air of enjoyment. Many people who previously did Karate are now training in Taekwondo as its
many ways more progreesive, more dynamic, more exciting and more entertaining.
4 ............... Beginners are often attracted by what is an enjoyable,, physical form or recreation
with the added benefit of self-defence and increased self- confidence. For some the fascination of
learning techniques and performing them to exacting standards, combined with a high level of
fitness, speed and strength, may be what appeals. Others enjoy being a part of disciplined group of
people of both sexes, all ages and from many different backgrounds who can work together and
help achieve their aims. It is not unusual to find a 12-year-old girl or a 70 year-old man wearing a
Black Belt.
5. ............. To reach that level takes years of hard work. Your first belt is white, which shows the
innocence of the student who has no previous knowledge of Taekwondo. If you pass your first
grading exam, you receive a yellow belt. This represents the Earth, where a plant takes root as the
Taekwondo fooundation is being laid. The next grade is green, symbolizing the plant’s growth as
skills begin to develop. This is followed by blue: the plant is now maturing arid growing towards
heaven as training progresses. Then comes red, meaning danger, cautioning self-control to the
student and warning the opponent to stay away. Finally there is black, meaning maturity and
proficiency in Teakwondo. It also indicates the wearer’s conquest of darkness and fear.
6. ............. The first thing to lear, though, is that Taekwondo is a martial art to be practiced with
control. Careless practice or fooling around can lead to injury. Strict rules of conduct and close
attention to them will help keep injuries to a minimum, particularly when are training one-to-one
with another student. In all combat situations like this you will have to wear thick gloves and
padded boots to avoid damaging either yourself or your oppenent, and-depending on the club you
join- you may also wear a helmet and a chest protector.
7. ............... In a good club there should be a feeling of friendliness. The pace may be fast and the
training might tough at times, but nobody should be getting hurt. Sit in on a class, see if people are
themselves and have a look at who is there. If the club has been going for a few years there should
be, apart from the instructor, some other high grades _ Blue, Red and Black Belts- practicing,
because there is always more to learn. From Black Belt 1 st Dan you can go further still, possibly
reach 5 th , 6 th or even higher Dans after many years’training.
Use NO MORE THAN THREE words taken from paragraphs 5,6,7 to fill in the following
sentences.
8. In Taekwondo, the first belt is white, which shows the ............................of the student who ahs
no previous knowledge of Taekwondo.
