At Spirit Tae Kwon Do, we're about more than the excellent physical workout that comes along with the practice. The body definitely gets the workout, but the mind and spirit are equally strengthened. Our Mission is to pass on the teachings and principles of Traditional and Olympic-style Taekwondo, and our Core Values and Teachings are based on the Five Tenets of Taekwondo:
Courtesy
Integrity
Perseverance
Self Control
Indomitable Spirit
Literally translated, the Korean word “Tae” means “to kick with foot”. “Kwon” implies “a hand of fist to block, Punch, or strike”. “Do” means an “art” or a “way”. Therefore, Taekwondo means “the art of kicking, blocking, and punching”. However, Taekwondo is not merely a physical fighting skill; it is also a way of thought and life. Today, Taekwondo is the national sport of Korea and is the fastest growing Martial Art in the world. It became an official Olympic event in the 2000 Olympic Games. Taekwondo is unique in its emphasis On accuracy and power.
