Dating back over 2,000 years, Taekwondo is one of the oldest forms of martial arts in the world.
The national sport of South Korea, Taekwondo includes a system of kicks, blocks, punches and open hand strikes – but you’ll need more than physical ability to be the GOAT of Taekwondo. Concentration, discipline and quick-fire reactions are also key to success.
Out of an estimated 70 million people in 188 countries practising Taekwondo, around 4 million people are blackbelts. This is still a relatively small amount, but it’s worth not starting fights with strangers on the off chance that they fall into that 4 million.
