And most importantly - why
My husband teaches people how to break planks and kick them in the head.
Evgenia Izotova
taekwondo wife
He has been practicing taekwondo since the age of eight, and from the age of 14 he has been training children and adults. He has a black belt, 3rd dan. In this article I will tell you what this type of martial arts gives a child, how much it costs and is it so scary to send children there.
How taekwondo works
Taekwondo is a Korean martial art. It stands for "the way of the foot and fist." In combat, taekwondo practitioners use their legs more often: approximately 70% of strikes are kicks.
The level of skill is marked with a belt of a certain color - from white to black. Colored belts are called gyps, black - dans. There are ten colored belts, nine black ones.
All color belts and black belts up to 6th dan can be obtained at the grading. The seventh, eighth and ninth dans are awarded only for special merit in taekwondo. In addition to taekwondo masters, the ninth dan was awarded to IOC members and presidents of various countries, including Vladimir Putin.
The WTF also has phums - student black belts, which are assigned to athletes under 15 years old. At the age of 15, the first phum is equal to the first dan.
There are four disciplines in taekwondo: sparring, complexes, self-defense and breaking objects - boards. For each athlete compete separately.
sparring, or kerugi, massogi - this is a duel by the rules. The rules for different federations are different. For example, in the WTF, you can’t hit your head with your hands - only with your feet.
In sparring, points are awarded for each hit. The more difficult the hit, the more points they give for it. For example, in the GTF and ITF, one point is awarded for a punch to the head, two points for a punch to the head in a jump or a kick to the head, and three points for a kick to the head in a jump. In the WTF, they also give four points for a roundhouse kick to the head.
For such a blow in the WTF they give four points. Photo: tkd-dan.ru Complex- it is also called poomsae, tkhil or hyeng - this is an exercise that combines strikes and blocks and imitates real fight. Complexes are needed in order to consolidate the technique of strikes and blocks and reproduce them in battle most effectively. They are performed either one at a time or as a team.
Breaking objects divided into power breaking and special equipment. In power breaking, the athlete demonstrates the power of the blow. In special equipment, accuracy and dexterity are more important: an athlete breaks a board that is at a considerable distance from him.
In the competition for special equipment, it is not always necessary to break the board. With some kicks, you just need to touch with your foot and not fall.

You need to free yourself from the grip, confront the enemy with weapons from different positions: sitting, lying, standing with your back to the enemy.
Federations
There are three most famous taekwondo federations in the world, or taekwondo - from English taekwondo: ITF, WTF and GTF. Abbreviations are deciphered in approximately the same way. Literally translated, it is an international, world and global taekwondo federation: in a word, international. Other federations, such as TI (Taekwondo International), are little known.
Taekwondo of different federations differs in technique, complexes and competition rules. To have the right to participate in the competitions of a federation, you must pass the certification and receive the belt of this federation.
ITP and GTP are not much different from each other. There are more complexes in the GTF and other rules for competitions. The WTF is very different from the other two federations: there are different complexes, equipment, competition rules and fighting techniques - in the WTF they use more foot technique. It is the athletes from the WTF who compete at the Olympics.
Parents' fears
My husband in training is faced with the same questions and fears of parents. Here they are.
In martial arts they teach to fight, my child will become aggressive. In fact, martial arts primarily teaches respect and kindness. One of the most important rules taekwondo says:
“You can’t use your knowledge to harm”
Taekwondo is probably very traumatic, like boxing. No, taekwondo is relatively non-traumatic martial arts. Required for sparring protective equipment. At competitions, the referee monitors the strength of the contact - for too strong disqualifies. Also, according to the rules, you can not apply more than three punches in a row. Other restrictions apply.
At competitions, injuries are not complete, but they do not happen often. The most common injuries in taekwondo training and competition are bruises and sprains.
The first training session has passed, but the child has not learned anything - is it worth continuing? If the child has not done a hundred push-ups, a spinner in a jump, and has not defeated everyone in a row, including the coach, this question will be raised. It's certainly worth continuing. The first results will appear only in a month, more significant - in three to four months. It was then that beginners enter the first competition.
Parents are also sometimes afraid that their child, in principle, is not able to learn to fight. In fact, the fear of a fight will go away if the child exercises at least twice a week, constantly practice punches and participate in sparring.
My child has asthma, he probably shouldn't play taekwondo. Some diseases can be dealt with, others not. Before training, be sure to go for an examination to a doctor, preferably a specialist in sports medicine: he will give access to training and competitions. As for asthma specifically, in taekwondo they do breathing exercises- it reduces the risk of getting sick.
The benefits of practicing taekwondo outweigh the risks. Children learn to stand up for themselves, improve posture, develop fine motor skills, speech and memory. At the same time, there are fewer injuries than in boxing or mix-fight. For example, my husband has not had a serious injury in 19 years of training. At the same time, when one day some psycho attacked us, my husband knocked him out.
Athletes take an oath to observe the principles of taekwondo and not to use taekwondo techniques to harm. A photo: chikanchi martial arts school Workout
In taekwondo they take from the age of three. The youngest athlete that taekwondo fighters have heard of is two years and seven months old. At my husband's school, children study according to the Chikanchi system and pass for a white belt at the age of three.
It is enough to train two or three times a week. The husband recommends going to group training twice and once to individual training.
Beginners are first taught basic punches and blocks, develop strength and endurance. Only after that they move on to complexes and sparring.
Prices for trainings depend on the city. In Moscow and St. Petersburg, prices are higher than, for example, in Kirov, where I studied. In Kirov, group training costs 1600 R per month and 4200 R per trimester. Individual training in Kirov cost 300-600 R.
In Moscow, prices for group training start from 2500 R. The average price is 5000 R per month. Individual training costs about 2000 R per hour. In St. Petersburg is cheaper.
Insurance
Before training, some schools ask you to take out accident insurance - it applies to training and competitions. At school, my husband is asked to pay attention to whether the insurance policy covers injuries received in martial arts and competitions.
Such insurance costs from 500 rubles. It is mandatory in competition.
Equipment
In the first months of training, the child can practice in a regular sports uniform or in a T-shirt and shorts. The main thing is that the clothes do not restrict movement: in training, they do a lot of stretching exercises and kick with their feet. Shoes are not needed - taekwondo practitioners practice barefoot.
If a child wants to participate in competitions and qualify for belts, he will need a dobok. Dobok is a form of taekwondo. It consists of a jacket, pants and a belt.
The dobok for the WTF is different from the dobok for the other two federations. Top part The uniform is put on like a T-shirt, it has no zipper. Children's uniform costs from 900 R, adult - from 1600 R.
At the martial arts school where my husband works, dobok costs an average of three thousand rubles. Can be found cheaper. In the Budoshop online store, doboks cost an average of two thousand, and on Avito you can find doboks cheaper than a thousand rubles. Dobka for ITF and GTF differ only in stripes and inscriptions.
To participate in sparring, in addition to the dob, other items of equipment are needed. Prices for them also depend on the federation, according to the rules of which you will compete.
The WTF equipment includes: helmet, cap, brace, protector, gloves, shin guards and forearm guards, feet. Feet and gloves in the WTF are thin.
In the GTF, equipment consists of a helmet, mouth guard, gloves, feet, brace and shin guards - not all competitions require shin guards. Feet and gloves are thickened. For girls from the age of 12, a protector is added - protection for the chest. In the ITF, everything is the same, but a helmet is not required for competitions.
