Social Competence
Social Competence refers to the emotional, social, and cognitive behaviors and skills
needed for successful social adaptation. A child’s social competence depends
upon a variety of factors, including the child’s social awareness, social
skills, and self-confidence. TaeKwonDo is indicated in university studies to increase social competencies by helping
students build confidence, channel aggressive energy, and create a positive self-image.
Biomechanics
Biomechanics is the science concerned with the internal and external forces acting
on the body and the effects produced by these forces. The International TaeKwonDo Alliance has been consistently
researching and evolving the stretching, lines of movement, and alignment
principles that make up its art for more than twenty years, resulting in the Ho-Am
TaeKwonDo forms used today.
Mindfulness Training and Practice
Mindfulness means paying attention in a particular way: on purpose, in the present
moment and non-judgmentally. Hence, mindfulness is being present or having Presence.
Presence is that quintessential quality of awareness and being that creates peak
experiences in living. Mindfulness practice is based on the premise that only in
the experience of the present moment can one accurately perceive what is really
happening, when life is fully appreciated without the need to judge it, and when
effective action can be taken. Mindfulness when achieved can occur every moment.
It can be achieved through
Mindfulness Meditation during active dynamic Life (TaeKwonDo, shopping,
eating, walking, exercise, singing, dancing, etc.), or during passive breathing
exercises.
What day is it? Today. What time is it? Now. Where are you? Here.
