Benefits of Taekwondo
Train Your Body and Mind
The unique training style of Taekwondo combines flexibility, strength, and cardiovascular fitness, offering a holistic approach that enhances all aspects of physical health.
Not only does Taekwondo provide the mental health benefits associated with regular exercise, such as confidence, discipline, and focus. It also enhances resilience and stress management while fostering respect for yourself and others.
Learn Self-Defence
Training Taekwondo can significantly boost your confidence and equip you with skills to defend yourself and others if necessary. This can provide a genuine sense of security and assurance, particularly in situations where you might feel vulnerable or alone.
Competitions
Represent yourself and your club at a national level! Competitions in sparring and patterns offer the chance to showcase your skills, with opportunities available for everyone from white belts to black belts. It's a fantastic way to get to know your teammates, support one another, and meet athletes from other university teams.
