ShAkOuRa pReSeNt "TaEkWoNdO"...


Hello let me introduce my subject: Teakwondo was created on April 11th in 1955 in Korea, thanks to General "Choi Hong Hi" .Then, with the passing of the years,it developed worldwide. Later it became an Olympic sport.


The four disciplines:

*Free fight/ combat: It includes two people. The goal is to hit and be powerful. To manage seven fulls. In free fight,there are three rounds.

*And ranking:(In French passage de grade)It is a test of knowledge, to increase one's rank. And to reach black belt.

*Then breaking
(in French: de la casse) It is an event or a test of power.Breaking can be practised with objects in wood, brick, polystyrene and plastic.....


*Technical demonstration and challenge demonstration:

Taekwondo is especially famous for its spectacular foot technic.
In Korean, tae (Hangul: 태, hanja: ) means "to strike or break with foot"; kwon (Hangul: 권, hanja: ) means "to strike or break with fist"; and do (Hangul: 도, hanja: ) means "way" or "method"; so "taekwondo" is loosely translated as "the way of the foot and fist" or "the way of kicking and punching".

There are sixteen belts. Protections are compulsory during a fight/ combat: teeth protection; fight helmet;a shirt front;forearms protections; shins protections; gloves and the debok.



In Taekwondo ,the world's champion is Pascal Gentil. He is very strong and powerful. As well as very tall. He is 1m98 tall.Pascal Gentil won 23 medals in a row. Example: In the French championships he won thirteen gold medals which is extraordinary


The second world's champion is Michael Borot another French man .He is 1m85 tall. He won 14 medals. So Pascal Gentil is stronger than Michael Borot.
