“A martial student stretches to improve his/her flexibility. Improved flexibility means better technique, increased power and more enjoyment in training. Correct stretching also provides many health benefits. Some of these are improved circulation, reduced anxiety, stress and fatigue, improved mental alertness, better posture, and decrease in the risk of muscle injury and muscle inflammation. By paying close attention to correct stretching a Taekwon-Do student can enjoy years of training and prolonged good health and well being.”

WOMEN IN TAEKWON-DO By M Cathy Downey, Canada
Taekwon-Do was developed in the 1940’s as a method of hand to hand combat training for soldiers, all of whom were male, so it is somewhat understandable that it has an overall male focus. However, since most schools have female students as well as male, it is important for us, as instructors, and for the ITF as an organization, to acknowledge where bias exists in our martial art and take steps to address it.
