What are the benefits of practicing Taekwondo for women?

Since Taekwondo is a highly confrontational sport, especially competitive Taekwondo, where both practitioners battle wits and courage to defeat their opponents, the competition is very fierce. For most women, it seems that they are not very suitable to practice this sport. In fact, there are a lot of women practicing Taekwondo. What is the reason? This has to do with Taekwondo itself.

Most of the Taekwondo currently introduced into China is competitive Taekwondo, which includes a lot of training content, mainly including competitive Taekwondo, Poomsae and practical (military and police) Taekwondo. Taekwondo mainly includes three aspects: competitive Taekwondo, practical Taekwondo and Poomsae.

Competitive Taekwondo means that practitioners compete within the limitations of rules and achieve results through competition.

Practical Taekwondo is about subduing your opponent by using various techniques. Because of its very practical characteristics, the military and armed police are required to master it, so it is also called military and police Taekwondo. In fact, it is also very popular among the people.

This is similar to the Sanshou movement in our country.

Poomsae, like our country's martial arts routines, is a fixed routine formed by choreographing a certain number of movements together.

It can be said that the technical methods in competitive Taekwondo are only a small part of the entire Taekwondo technical system. Therefore, when women practice Taekwondo, they can practice all three main aspects. Practicing the technical movements in competitive Taekwondo can be used to improve the performance of their own skills and make the movements appear exquisite and beautiful; practicing practical Taekwondo can enable one to master the real self-defense technique of defeating the enemy in one move, which is especially important for women; and practicing Poomsae can be used to perform and practice basic techniques.

There are many benefits for women to practice martial arts. At night, many women like to go out and enjoy a nightlife. If they do not practice some martial arts to protect themselves at this time, then they will not know how to deal with some criminals when they encounter them. Many women have lost their lives for this reason. Therefore, women practicing martial arts is not only to strengthen their bodies, but the best thing is that it can also serve as a self-defense tool.
