Welcome to the website for the Jon Churchward School of Taekwon-do. Founded in 2007 and based in the North East of England, we teach ITF Taekwon-do. Taekwon-do is a modern Korean Martial Art of Self-Defence. "Tae" means to kick or smash with the foot, "Kwon" means to punch or destroy with the hand or fist and "Do" means an art or way. Taekwon-do is much more than kicking and punching. It is a form of self defence that is a complete non-violent discipline of entire body training and character building. |
