• Fitness of mind, as well as body

The physical training is only part of the ultimate goal of Taekwondo. The true focus is on the harnessing of human potential - the power each of us possesses but rarely taps. If Taekwondo is to be called an art of self-defense, then its goal is best described in this manner: the best self-defense is that of a serene, self-contained person, at peace with himself/herself and the world around him/her.
