What is Tae Kwon
Do?
By Grand Master James S. Benko PH.D.
Tae Kwon Do may be the most maligned of
arts. You are asked to believe that it was
created for the destruction of one man by
another. You are entertained by the smashing
of boards and are told that this power is
the goal of Tae Kwon Do.
You hear high-pitched incantations and are led to believe that somewhere within these sounds lies the
mystique of Tae Kwon Do
This is show business and is not Tae Kwon Do. Like all show business, the act will change whenever the opportunist believes
that your mood has changed. Tae Kwon Do does not change. It is constant in form and purpose. It was created by nonviolent men to
discourage violence.
It does give power. A power of self-defense far more frightening then the mere shattering of boards. But it never once suggests
and offensive use of this power. It does bring physical well being, for there is no discipline of man which trims, shapes or conditions the body as well.
It does bring a fluidity to motion, a grace to movement, and physical harmony. It also does more, as it brings self-strength, self-knowledge,
self-confidence and self control. It reaches toward "ki"...the development of a total being capable of meeting any challenge with calm and success.
It brings one to himself. It is a "way" of life.
The journey from those first simple moves of self-defense to "ki" is a long one. We invite you now to take the first step of that journey.
