    About the class

    What to expect

    Taekwondo is a Korean martial art whose name means roughly “the way of the foot and the fist”.
    2,000+ years
    A tradition originating in Korea
    Since 2000
    Olympic discipline

    It is characterised by fast, dynamic kicking techniques, precise sequences of movement and varied training for the whole body. Since the year 2000, taekwondo has been part of the Olympic programme.

    Taekwondo is far more than a modern competitive sport, however. The training combines physical fitness, self-defence and technical skill with concentration, self-control and personal development.

    Benefits

    What does taekwondo develop?

    Regular training strengthens, among other things, the following abilities:

    • Flexibility, coordination and balance
    • Strength, stamina and reaction speed
    • Concentration and body control
    • Self-confidence and a confident presence
    • Perseverance and self-discipline
    • Treating others with respect

    All content is taught step by step and in line with age and training level. This makes taekwondo suitable for beginners and advanced students alike.

    Attitude

    The five tenets of taekwondo

    Five values shape the training and make taekwondo at Senshu far more than just a sport:

    • Courtesy — Respect towards the instructors, towards training partners and towards yourself.
    • Integrity — Honesty, fairness and the willingness to take responsibility for your own actions.
    • Perseverance — Carrying on even when a technique does not work straight away.
    • Self-control — Consciously controlling your body, your thoughts and your emotions.
    • Indomitable spirit — Taking on challenges with courage and not letting setbacks discourage you.
    In training

    Taekwondo in practice

    The training consists of different areas that complement each other:

    • Basic techniques with hands and feet
    • Partner exercises
    • Controlled sparring practice
    • Self-defence
    • Fitness and flexibility training
    • Forms, also called poomsae

    A poomsae is a set sequence of attacking and defensive techniques against an imagined opponent. Practising forms builds concentration, precision, balance and expression. For every belt examination, new techniques and forms are learned in line with the student’s level.

    The belt system makes progress visible and gives students clear, achievable goals. Everyone develops at their own pace.
