Jidokwan Taekwondo

Want to start yourself or your child in a martial arts class? Increase in flexibility, balance, and physical capabilities? Develop your self-discipline and self-control? Participate in an activity together as a family? Try Taekwondo!

Taekwondo (also spelled Tae Kwon Do, or Taekwon-Do,) is the most popular of the Korean martial arts and is the Korean national sport. It is also one of the world’s most commonly practiced martial arts. In Korean, Tae means "to kick or destroy with the foot"; Kwon means "to punch with the fist"; and Do means "way" or "art". Hence, Taekwondo is loosely translated as "the art of hand and foot" or "the way of the hand and foot."

The art in general emphasizes kicks thrown from a mobile stance. Front, roundhouse, crescent, axe, and side kicks are considered basics, while advanced kicks include jump, spin, skip, and drop kicks, often in combination. Taekwondo training also includes a comprehensive system of hand strikes and blocks.

Taekwondo as a sport and exercise is popular with people of both sexes and of many ages. Physically, Taekwondo develops strength, speed, balance, flexibility, and stamina. Taekwondo helps students develop improved awareness, confidence, focus, discipline, memory, and respect.

The Nebraska Hapkido Association is attempting to find out if there is sufficient interest in the area for a Taekwondo class. If you think that you or anyone in your family might be interested in Jidokwan Taekwondo, please let us know by sending us an email. Sending us an email does not mean you have committed anyone to joining a class, it merely means you might be interested if a class does begin. If there is enough interest in Plattsmouth, we will begin a course here and we’d like to make sure we can let you know!

For everyone, ages 12 and up.
