Taekwondo Training Brisbane Hanmadang A Hit

Taekwondo Training Brisbane Hanmadang A Hit

By:


The Factor10 Hanmadang technical tournament is scheduled for Saturday 18 June and promises to be an exciting step in the Martial Arts journey of every Factor10 member. For anyone doing Taekwondo training Brisbane Martial Arts clubs have welcomed with open arms the Factor10 Hanmadang.

Just as gradings in Taekwondo and Hapkido are an essential part of the development of all Martial Artists, a technical tournament provides a second to none experience in developing, enhancing and honing the critical life skills of concentration and perseverance. The Hanmadang technical events are especially designed to develop skills across the four black belt qualities of speed, power, intensity and balance.

Likewise, for anyone doing Hapkido training Brisbane clubs have been participating since the inaugural Hanmadang back in 2005 and coming back every year to be involved.

The name Taekwondo is translated as meaning the way of the foot and fist (tae, foot; kwon, fist; do, way). Taekwondo is a Korean Martial Art which has an interesting history spanning about four thousand years.

Taekwondo has been practiced as a Martial Art and as a sport since its beginning. Apart from improving ones physical fitness and health, it aims to achieve self-confidence, respect and inner peace.

In its earlier form, Taekwondo was probably practiced to ensure protection from wild animals. Since these attacks could have come from any direction, a system of self defence movements was developed to allow one to spontaneously defend.

These movements became utilised into a complex system of blocks, kicks and punches that is the ancestor of todays modern Taekwondo.

Advanced training and coaching methods, along with world class Olympic standard facilities such as those found at Factor10 Martial Arts ensures Taekwondo athletes realise their full potential.

Access to Queenslands first full time Taekwondo facility 6 days a week provides a second to none opportunity for Factor10 members

Hapkidos development through the years is, unfortunately, uncronicled due to the shroud of secrecy placed on it in order for Korean Martial Arts to survive the years of foreign army occupation.

Hapkido is a combination of three characters Hap meaning harmony or combination, Ki meaning power (internal energy of the body) and Do meaning the way. In short, Hapkido means the art of power coordination. This coordination of power is shown in two ways first and most important is the harmony between mind and body.

The second concept of harmony deals with the coordination of an attack or defence. A person might know how to save him or herself from a knife attack, but if that person allows too much fear to affect the physical movement in such a way that the person becomes clumsy, hurried, or even worse, frozen, then all the knowledge gained is in vain.

Hapkido uses kicking, punching, throwing, falling, joint locking, pressure point attacking and many hand-held weapons, such as the knife, sword, walking cane, fan and long and short sticks to name a few.

Hapkido training at Factor10 Martial Arts provides another extraordinary opportunity for members to participate in an authentic traditional Martial Art.
