Tae Kwon-Do the foot and hand martial art. Tae Kwon-Do is a Korean Martial Art with a 2000 year history. Originally, it was a fighting skill used for self defence. Over the centuries it has evolved into an Art, a sport and a winning way of life. At all the T.A.G.B. Schools we blend traditional and contemporary aspects of the Art. Discipline and self defence play an important role in our programme, but we place emphasis on the exercise and sporting benefits of the Art.

IN GENERAL-
Total Fitness in body and mind.
In Tae Kwon-Do you'll learn to stretch and exercise nearly every muscle group in your body. This aspect alone distinguishes the sport from most others.
But emphasis on improved concentration, stamina and self control is what really sets Tae Kwon-Do apart from other disciplines. To develop these skills, you'll exercise your mind at least as much as your body.Naturally, the positive effects of that exercise will carry over into other areas of your life too.
Students at all T.A.G.B. schools are separated into two or three groups, beginners/intermediate/advanced. Beginners learn stretching exercises, the principles of Tae Kwon-Do and basic kicks, punches and blocks. Intermediate students practise combination movements that require greater concentration. Advanced students continue to refine their technique, emphasising control, power and accuracy.
