Background Information

Tae Kwon Do is one of the many ancient styles of martial arts. There are about eight different styles of martial arts that have contributed to the creation of Tae Kwon Do.  It teaches a variety of skills and also the philosophy of the ancient ways of doing things. Back when Japan invaded Korea, the Korean men started having secret meetings to develop martial art strategies and if they were found out they would be killed, to ward off the Japanese. What was different then is that the Japanese had many weapons and many men, while the Koreans only had limited men and no weapons. When the Koreans used this martial art, and took Japan by surprised the word got out and people came from all over to learn this martial art. From personal experience I have learned that by using these skills one can change his or her lifestyle around and make it better.
