Traditional YU Taekwondo

The foundation of our school. A focus on technique, discipline and the development of the fundamentals of martial arts.

TRADITION

Our roots lie in the centuries-old martial art of Taekwondo – but we interpret it for modern life. At YU Taekwondo, traditional training is far more than just physical exercise: it is a holistic path to cultivating discipline, respect, and inner strength in a hectic world.

The three syllables ‘Taekwondo’ stand for foot techniques (Tae), hand techniques (Kwon) and the way of life (Do). Whilst individual techniques have been known for centuries, the Korean General Choi Hong-hi brought this knowledge together in 1955 and created a unified system. This marked the birth of Taekwondo. The key difference from other martial arts lies in its distinctive dynamism and the strong emphasis on foot techniques.
