Theory

As well as the practial aspects of Tae Kwon-Do your theory is equally important for your success. The theory covers many aspects including:

• Background and history of the Tae Kwon-Do and the association to which the club belongs.
• Tenets of Tae Kwon-Do and the Tae Kwon-Do oath.
• Technical details of the various stances, blocks, punches, kicks, strikes, thrusts and other techniques.
• Korean terminology - everyone studying Tae Kwon-Do the world over is therefore familiar the same terms no matter what their native language.
• Meanings and applications to the patterns.
• Understanding of your grade, the syllabus and what is required to progress.

All members of the club receive a student handbook to help them with their theory. Also periodically students will receive copies of the PUMA magazine Planet PUMA.

Theory forms a part of each grading.
