As a sport, Tae Kwon Do has rapidly taken its place in the world’s sporting arenas. It is now an official Olympic Sporting event. A great amount of skill, control and discipline is required in the art and sport of Tae Kwon Do. Its challenge lies in the adept use of the techniques, yet, without having any actual bodily contact. The non-contact philosophy of Mardo’s Tae Kwon Do Academy (MTKDA) makes it safe for everyone to enjoy.

Tae Kwon Do is considered an extremely effective form of unarmed self-defense due to the specific techniques that the system teaches. Because of this, one does not need to be a tall muscular male to successfully use Tae Kwon Do in self-defense. Many females have attained black belt level and are highly proficient in the practice.
