Taekwondo Class in Action

Taekwondo ...

... is a Korean martial art and combat sport.

Taekwondo is the national sport of South Korea and sparring, kyeorugi, is an Olympic sporting event.

In Korean hanja, tae means feet or kicking; kwon means hands or striking; and do means art, path, way, or method.

Hence, taekwondo is loosely translated as the way of the foot and fist.

History

The Taekwondo Club was founded by our former minister Rev. Nicola Frail, 4th degree black belt, and was one of the first Songahm Taekwondo clubs in Scotland. It has a dedicated group of black belts who are enrolled in the WTTU junior instructor and adult instructor programmes. Nicola also visits to teach black belt classes.

In 2009, the club hosted the European WTTU Camp at Kirkcaldy High School with students from all over Europe being taught and tested by instructors from America and Thailand.

There are currently over 30 students with new arrivals always welcome.
