RMIT ITF Taekwon-Do

Taekwon-Do is a version of unarmed combat designed for the purpose of self-defence. It was founded in the 1950s by Choi Hong Hi (1918-2002), a South Korean General and Ambassador. Our club is part of the official International Taekwon-Do Federation (ITF), which was founded by General Choi in 1966.

Taekwon-Do martial artists employ both hand and foot techniques. Supported by modern scientific evidence, these techniques combine the notions of reaction force, concentration, balance, breath control and speed in order to achieve maximum power.

One of the many appeals of ITF Taekwon-Do is the diversity of events that take place during competitions. There is sparring of course, but also patterns, team sparring, team patterns, self-defence, power breaking and special techniques.

Ultimately, it's an excellent tool for both physical and mental development. But don't take our word for it... Come and try it out!
