Tae Kwon Do Fundamentals
Power is directly related to speed and strength. Strength is determined by an individual's build and muscles. Physical brute strength alone is of little use in Tae Kwon Do. Strength must be harnessed in conjunction with speed and focus. Concentration is key here. Proper breathing while executing a technique is a must. It is impossible for a boxer to throw a punch while inhaling. Exhaling while throwing a punch provides a rush of adrenaline, tightening the abdominal muscles and providing extra strength. Many years of practice will make this automatic.
While delivering a kick or punch, all of our power must be sent into the target, not just at it.
