The Way of Hand and Foot -
Tae Kwon Do (TKD) is a hard-style
system dominated by punching and kicking. TKD is the most popular martial art
in the world today, though the vast majority of TKD schools teach the Olympic
Style TKD almost exclusively. Olympic TKD is geared toward sporting competition
rather than combat or self defense. Way of Orient teaches TKD as an actual
fighting system, rather than just a sport. While Way of Orient encourages
students to participate in competition as part of the training routine, it
understands that there is a dramatic difference between just training for sport
and training for the real world.
