Here is the Essay Contest Winner for our 8-12 year old category! Congratulations Miss Danica Alexander!! Why Taekwon-do is Important to Me By Danica Alexander Taekwon-do is important to me for many reasons. It is important to me because it is fun, I have made many friends, and I have worked really hard to get where I am now, as a red belt.

Here is the Essay Contest Winner for our 13-17 year old category! Congratulations Mr. Maximillian Donahue!! Maximilian Donahue TaeKwonDo: My thoughts. Why is TaeKwonDo important to me?

11 Jun 2020 Power Breaking by Aaron Poteet
Power Breaking In this paper I will cover the different aspects of power breaking that I have learned in my twelve years in Tae Kwon-Do such as the theory of power, how to be physically prepared, as well as mentally prepared. I have had many role models in my journey but one of the greatest is Mr. Mike Deardorff V Dan. To successfully break in Tae Keon-Do you must have power, thankfully we have the theory of power. It has gone through every test you could imagine and still holds true. It consists of reaction force, concentration, equilibrium, breath control, mass, and speed. All six elements increase the power and force of a technique. Reaction force is mostly talked about in class ....
