People have always associated martial arts with self-defense. But how effective is Tae Kwon-Do against a would be attacker on the streets today?
The key to self-defense is knowing exactly how to appropriately react in a given situation. It also means having the skill and the ability to apply what you know, when such occasion arises. Skill and ability are improved only with practice.The Instructor’s goal is to sharpen the technique of the student so that their movements will be fact, powerful, and accurate. This will build the student’s confidence and ability to defend themselves as well as to help get themselves in tip-top shape.
Free sparring gives the students practice in using their techniques against a moving “opponent.” All of this is done in a supervised environment, which gives the student confidence in their abilities. Self-assuredness is one of the most important elements of self-defense.
