I.T.F Taekwon-Do was founded by General Choi Hong Hi in the 1950s. It was originally developed as a military self defense-based art, with a strong sense of tradition and respect. Modern Taekwon-Do encompasses not only the traditional art but also an over-all physical fitness with emphasis on precision, technique and speed. Classes cover a set syllabus for each belt level, from beginners to black belt, which includes patterns (set sequence of movements), traditional and competition sparring and street self-defence. Classes start with a light warm up to get the blood flowing and cover basic fitness. Each class covers different aspects of the syllabus, keeping it innovative and different. Students train and work towards their next belt level at their own individual pace and gradings/testing is done once students have learnt and fully understand their current syllabus. Bo-Sabum Richard will move students forward when he feels confident in their ability and skill. Grading’s give students something to work towards and a great sense of achievement.
