Taekwondo
Taekwondo, or "The Way of the Foot and the Fist", is a Korean martial art practiced with bare hands and consisting largely of blocking, dodging and attacking techniques of the upper and lower limbs.
Description
All facets of Taekwondo are covered: physical (re)conditioning, specific muscle work, stretching, basic traditional techniques, kicking and fighting techniques, forms, etc.
For those who wish, the section offers access to the higher techniques of taekwondo, which prepare for the grade examinations organized 2 or 3 times a year.
Training courses with other instructors/masters are also regularly organized (an ABFT license may be required to take part in some of these courses).
Open to students aged 15 and over.
Accessible mainly to beginners. Contact the instructors if you already have a Taekwondo grade before registering.
Founded in 1973, our school is the oldest in Wallonia.
In this era of absolute reign of Japanese martial arts, Taekwondo distinguished itself by its effective jumping kicks and spectacular breaking techniques. It was once known as "flying karate". More known to this day in its "sporting" form, Taekwondo remains an age-old traditional "martial art".
There are, depending on the school, two methods of teaching. One is sporty and competition oriented, the other is traditional. We mainly perpetuate the latter way.
The members who wish to present the exams of passage of rank will be affiliated with the French-speaking Association of Taekwondo (ABFT), federation recognized by the world federation (WT).
