Although self-defense is usually the reason most people study Tae
Kwon Do, there are numerous other reasons: physical fitness, weight
control, figure control, confidence, self-respect, self-discipline,
tension and pressure relief. Whatever the reasons a new student
studies Tae Kwon Do, you soon become aware of many benefits from
training, both expected and unexpected. The Tae Kwon Do students
feel healthy and physical fit. They are confident that they are learning
to defend themselves and this quiet confidence filters through to all
phases of their daily lives, including home, job, school, etc. As they
progress in Tae Kwon Do, the student will acquire a greater respect
for themselves and for others.
