About the Business
He then moved on to Karate and over a period of time studied four different styles. During this time he also trained in JuJitso. He settled with Tae Kwon Do at the age of 22 and has stayed with this discipline ever since. Mr Murphy states that Taekwon-do is first and foremost a Martial Art and competing is only a small part of this discipline. It is the individuals choice whether or not to compete. Taekwon-Do is the scientific use of the body in self defence - a body that has gained the ultimate use of its facilities through intensive, physical and mental training.
Originating in Korea, Taekwon-Do was developed in its present form in the last century and inaugurated in 1955 by its founder and head of the International Taekwon-Do Federation (ITF), Major General Choi Hong Hi. Translated from Korean, 'Tae' means to jump, Kick or smash with the foot; 'Kwon' means to punch or destroy with the hand or fist; and 'Do' means art way or method.
