BIRMINGHAM TAEKWON-DO, FOX HOLLIES LEISURE CENTRE
1. It may be practised individually or in group without the use of weights or special equipment. It is in most cases, practised alone except sparring. Since the body sets its own limits,injuries or strains are rare and the physical condition of the student paces him automatically. The entire muscle system of the body from fingers to toes is brought into play.
2. The training does not produce large knotty muscles. It tends to exchange flabby fat tissue for lean tissue. TaeKwon-Do's high repetition, low resistance movements developa longer leaner and more flexible musculature. Such muscles have more of their areas close to blood supply routes, thus producing maximum endurance and well being.
3. The training tends to be a normaliser of body weight in that it results in a gain of solid tissue for the underweight and a loss of body fat for the obese. The estimated calorie consumption for vigourous TaeKwon-Do workout is about six hundreds per hour, one of the highest for any sports activity. Since the expenditure of about 3500 calories results in a weight loss of one pound, it will be seen that a weight loss of one pound per week.
4. The emphasis in twisting in executing the kicking movement and in counter balancing the hand movements builds a firm well muscled abdomen. The high leg raise preceding most of the kicks in TaeKwon-Do also develops the side of the trunk and inner thigh muscles.
The study of TaeKwon-Do is particularly recommended for women because of this development of lower abdomen, hips, and inner thighs areas which produce a youthful femine figure for women of all ages. After childbirth in particular, these areas are stretched and weakened. TaeKwon-Do training is ideal to restore muscle tone for health and as well as appearances.
5. Every movement of TaeKwon-Do is scientifically designed with a specific purpose. A skillful instructor, therefore, may develop in the student a belief that success is possible for anyone, making it easy to teach and easy to learn.
These are the main reasons why TaeKwon-Do has been spreading like wild fire throughout the world and is being considered for inclusion in the Olympic Games. At the London, UK Olympics 2012, Tae Kwon-Do was not included. Tae Kwon-Do has five aspects to it.
