SPORTS

The Taekwondo began to be practiced in Boca Juniors long before it was officially recognized within the program of the Olympic Games (in 1980).

For over two decades, taekwondo from Boca Juniors was positioned at the highest level of national and international tournaments. This is reflected in the different categories (children, young and old) have won privileged positions in both the national ranking as international ones.

Our institution has a training room for the exclusive and sole taekwondo, with all the additional material needed to develop a high performance sports and electronic elements to track longitudinal performance of competitors from Boca. In addition, our school has excellent professionals (teachers and coaches) who have experience and track record nationally and internationally.

For the practitioner, taekwondo martial art can exist as physical exercise, education or modern sport. As a martial art develops when the practitioner in mind and body devoted to the refinement of skill, such as physical exercise beneficially influences the growth development of children, youth and adult education as a tool for establishing the purpose of his practice: make the practitioner a real person, ie to improve their mental and physical condition. Taekwondo as a sport has three goals ideals: power, speed and accuracy. When these three goals have been achieved, we can say that taekwondo has the value of racing as a modern sport.

When competing, everyone wants to prove that is superior to his opponent in terms of strength and technique. This desire, along with other factors of sportsmanship (or moral, pleasure, honor), is gradually leading to the development of taekwondo as a sport.
