Why Gajok?
Get Fit
As you train in Taekwondo you will stretch, run, jump, kick, punch and many other things. All of these lead to better cardiovascular health as well as flexibility and building bone and muscle strength.
Taekwondo training is also an excellent way to lose extra weight and to tone and build the muscle you already have in a way that is much more fun and interesting than the endless slog of a treadmill or gym with the added end result of learning a very respected martial art.
Gain Confidence
Building confidence is all about personal empowerment, offering the chance to succeed, and acknowledging that success. Every single time you learn a new pattern, win a fight or move up a grade, you feel a great sense of achievement in knowing you have completed a difficult task.
​
Taekwondo teaches you how to defend yourself, and knowing that you can hold your own in a tough situation builds confidence and self-esteem as well as changing how you are perceived by those around you when they know you practice Taekwondo.
Learn Discipline
Taekwondo has as much to do with mental discipline as it does with the physical. Taekwondo is not an easy thing to learn, and every pattern, every kick, and every stance takes a lot of discipline to master.
​
Learning the various aspects of Taekwondo and perfecting them involves goal setting and you have to use self-discipline in order to meet that goal. Taekwondo is very good at teaching you that nothing in life is easy and that everything, every goal, which you set, requires a lot of discipline to accomplish.
