Can I Ever Be A Master of Taekwon-Do? Article written by Master Earl Weiss |
Staying Fit – Staying Alive! Released By The National Taekwon-Do Academy of Illinois Security is the issue of increasing importance to all people, especially women. As many law enforcement authorities will tell you, a person who exudes an air of confidence is less likely to be attacked by a would-be mugger. Along with developing the physical ability to defend yourself, comes the mental ability to survive in a given situation. Development of this skill is based on the five tenets of Taekwon-Do. The characteristics are courtesy, integrity, perseverance, self control and indomitable spirit. Certainly Taekwon-Do is not a panacea when one is seeking to become physically fit. In fact, most Taekwon-Do practitioners engage in other athletic activities such as running, biking, swimming, skiing, weight-lifting, tennis, and racquetball. The difference between other activities, for instance aerobics, strives for fitness but there is no other purpose for the movements practiced. However, in Taekwon-Do, the ultimate goal is to be able to defend yourself (or a loved one), in a situation where physical harm is threatened. Taekwon-Do is the ideal alternative that combines fitness and safety to a safeguard against becoming a victim. A person would be well-advised to seek a competent Taekwon-Do instructor to learn the skills that could last a lifetime or perhaps save a lifetime. |
