Grand Master Kim’s Taekwondo is a modern martial arts academy with roots in a tradition that has been growing for over 2000 years. Taekwondo is a Korean martial art that can be traced to 50 B.C. In English, Taekwondo means “the way of hand and foot” or “the art of kicking and punching.” The most unique characteristic of Taekwondo is its dominant use of kicking techniques. As the art and science of Taekwondo evolved from ancient fighting styles, its modern fathers recognized the natural power and reach advantage of the leg when compared to the arm. The leg is naturally longer and stronger so it is logical to emphasize its effective use. This predominant use of fast, powerful and dynamic kicking techniques is the signature of Taekwondo.
