Taekwondo is Korea’s most representative martial arts and is a globally-recognized sport. Not just an important defensive art that has played a key part in Korean history, Taekwondo also improves the physical abilities and mental strength of its practitioners.
Want to learn more about this exciting skill? Highly-trained masters (many with experience in both Taekwondo and Hapkido) welcome international visitors of all ages and experience levels to join in the fun for an unforgettable Taekwondo Experience!
If your time is limited and you’re a Taekwondo beginner, you may want to try the ‘Namsangol Hanok Village Taekwondo Experience Program’ (1 hr) or the ‘1-Day Taekwondo Culture Tour’ (choose between a 90-min or a 3-hr Taekwondo class). For a deeper look into the world of Taekwondo, check out the ‘Taekwondo Training Programs,’ which can be taken anywhere from 2 to 15 days and can accommodate Taekwondo students of all levels.
For anyone unable (or not quite ready) to jump in and learn Taekwondo, there is also a Taekwondo performance titled ‘Legend of Taekwondo,’ an amusing story that sets the backdrop for a stunning display of skill by Taekwondo masters.
