Facts & History of Tae Kwon-Do:
 Tae Kwon-Do is a traditional Korean martial art. Translated literally, it means "Hand and Foot Way." But while Tae Kwon-Do is widely known for its spectacular kicks and powerful punches, you will discover that it is a whole lot more than that.
 With roots tracing back over 2,000 years, Tae Kwon-Do is an integrated and complete system for self-defense and personal improvement. The aim of training is to improve the whole person -- body, mind, and spirit. As a student at Franklin Tae Kwon-Do Academy, you will gain strength, stamina, quickness, flexibility, coordination and balance. You'll learn to use virtually every part of your body as a powerful weapon for self-defense. But even more important, you'll find that Tae Kwon-Do also helps you develop patience, concentration, self-control, perseverance, humility and respect.
The combination of physical skill and mental discipline leads to self-confidence, a true sense of personal power and a positive, peaceful outlook on life.
