2. Greater Flexibility – Kicks are a big part of Taekwondo, and executing them properly increases flexibility.
- Improves Focus – as one requires discipline to practice any martial art.
- Sharpens Reflexes
- Enhances Cognitive Abilities – physical exercise trains the body and mind, and children who enrol in Taekwondo often perform better at school.
