The title translates literally as the art of unarmed combat or the art of punching and kicking. Patters, self defense, break test, and sparring are the four main disciplines of Tae Kwon Do. It is the combination of all four disciplines that make the art so special. Students looking to advance in belt ranking should be familiar with all four and prepared to pass certain tests.

Tae Kwon Do has no age limits and is easily learned even by children. Children are made aware of their own strengths and weaknesses as they practice Tae Kwon Do. They will also learn respect and fain fast reaction times. Tae Kwon Do competitions for children are different than those designed for adults. During competitions for children no shots to the head are allowed. Many of the students studying this martial art are hoping to take part in competitions. The competition aspect of Tai Kwon Do contributes in large part to its popularity. Competitions can be tough, which makes them exciting to watch.

The skill of the fighter plays a huge part in the outcome of the competition, as you might expect. Tae Kwon Do is an excellent martial art to study.
