Training, diet and preparation for the Taekwondo Championships

The true origins of Taekwondo can be traced back to more than 2,000 years, but although classified as martial arts, the Taekwondo Championship is relatively new, and the Taekwondo movement began in the United States in the early 1970s. Many American karate practitioners are tired of strict control over all traditional forms of martial arts competitions and form a disengagement group. Kick boxing is formed by full-contact kicking and boxing that are basically banned in martial arts competitions. People are worried about the possibility of high injury rates, so they have added protective clothing and have established safety rules. The taekwondo competitions we see today vary in style and are closely related to traditional martial arts styles.

People participate in Taekwondo classes for a variety of reasons. Learning Taekwondo skills is a good way to protect yourself. Taekwondo courses are becoming more and more popular in fitness, and many personal trainers are using Taekwondo for their clients. The most important thing is that Taekwondo is their sport. In fact, for some people who collectively promise, Taekwondo becomes a way of life, and entering the Taekwondo competition is a personal challenge.

Preparing for these competitions is a matter of listening because the level of health must be high. Artists must not only provide strong kicks and boxing, but must be healthy enough to avoid their opponents and/or recover from the impact. It is necessary to increase muscle strength and adjust the whole body through weight training, and increase the endurance of cardiovascular work such as exercise, skipping and jumping. Flexibility is not only competitive in kick-boxing competitions, but also helps to lift and relax hands to eliminate stress and tension, help avoid serious injuries, and cool after avoiding muscle stiffness.

Diet needs to be strictly observed. Low fat, high protein and the necessary amount of carbohydrates as a fuel. A lot of fresh fruits and vegetables make the diet perfect. All of us must drink enough water, suggesting that the average person needs about 8 cups a day, while high-sports groups [such as kick boxer training and entering the Taekwondo Championship] need more. The martial artist must always maintain moisture to achieve the best performance. If not, the artist will suffer from muscle soreness, fatigue, and will not recover quickly. Junk food, alcohol and caffeine are not acceptable. Like all martial arts, the power of the mind is also important. Controlling our emotions and focusing on our movements can change the outcome. Keeping your temper control and relaxing our movements can achieve stronger, more accurate kicks and boxing.

The preparation of the Taekwondo Championship depends to a large extent on the level of fitness and the determination of the martial artist, and can be reasonably trained and timed.
