Almost There Kates Playground




Taekwondo ( Taekwondo ; 跆拳道 ; Korean pronunciation: [ t ʰ ɛkwʌndo] ) [a] is a Korean martial art and the national sport of South Korea . In Korean , tae (Moss, ) means "to strike or break with foot"; kwon (권, ) means "to strike or break with fist"; and do (도, ) means "way," "method," or "art." Thus, taekwondo may be loosely translated as "the way of the foot and fist" or "the way of kicking and punching."

Taekwondo is the world's most popular martial art in terms of the number of practitioners. [ 1 ] Its popularity has resulted in the varied development of the martial art into several domains: as with many other arts, it combines combat techniques, self-defense , sport , exercise , meditation , and philosophy . Taekwondo is also used by the South Korean military as part of its training. [ 2 ] Gyeorugi ( pronounced [ɡjʌɾuɡi] ), a type of sparring , has been an Olympic event since 2000.

Formally, there are two main styles of taekwondo. One comes from the Kukkiwon , the source of the sparring system sihap gyeorugi which is now an event at the summer Olympic Games and which is governed by the World Taekwondo Federation (WTF). The other comes from the International Taekwon-Do Federation (ITF). [ 3 ]

Separate from the various taekwondo organizations, there have been two general branches of taekwondo development: traditional and sport. The term "traditional taekwondo" typically refers to the martial art as it was established in the 1950s and 1960s in the South Korean military forces; in particular, the names and symbolism of the traditional patterns often refer to elements of Korean history . Sport taekwondo has evolved in the decades since then and has a somewhat different focus, especially in terms of its emphasis on speed and competition (as in Olympic sparring), whereas traditional taekwondo tends to emphasize power and self-defense. The two are not mutually exclusive, and the distinctions between them are often blurred.

Although there are doctrinal and technical differences between the two main styles and among the various organizations, the art in general emphasizes kicks thrown from a mobile stance, employing the leg's greater reach and power (compared to the arm). The greatest difference between various styles, or at least the most obvious, is generally accepted to be the differing styles and rules of sport and competition. Taekwondo training generally includes a system of blocks, kicks, punches, and open-handed strikes and May include aussi Various take-downs or sweeps, throws, and joint locks. Some Taekwondo Instructors aussi Incorporate The Use of pressure points, Known as jiapsul , "as well as grabbing self-defense techniques Borrowed from Other martial arts, Such as judo and hapkido

How To Tighten A Sew In Track

Rock art Jebel Ouesslat


jebel oueslat The jebel Ouesslat is an imposing mountain range covering approximately 135,000 hectares and overlooks the plain Ouesslatia Merguellil and east, the plain of Kairouan in the west and south Haffouz depression.


kef el bhim Although difficult access and poor in water resources, Jebel Ouesslat was always busy. The presence of prehistoric man dating back to ancient times and continues up to 5,000 years before present (Neolithic period).

ain khanfous This massif contains habitats from this period and an impressive and unique paintings and prints, located on the walls of rock shelters and caves. It represents, in the state of our knowledge, the richest region in rock art from Tunisia.

Tunisia cradle of civilizations has always talked about 3,000 years of history when our country is full of treasures still buried; Presence human dating back 5,000 years is detectable in the region Oueslatia.

Recall that only thirteen sets of rock art sites found in this title on the World Heritage List of Unesco: they are Algeria, Australia, Libya, Brazil, Mexico, Argentina, France, Italy, Portugal, Spain, Sweden and Norway. None has been on the list in Asia, Sub-Saharan Africa, the United States or Canada.

It would be highly desirable that the authorities are looking into the matter and send as quickly to a Unesco world heritage classification file . The caves of Jebel Oueslat could they one day become the fourth in Africa after those of South Africa (uKhahlamba / DP) Algeria (Tassili n'Ajjer) and Libya (Acacus) Unesco World Heritage?

Oueslatia region will be in the very near future, hopefully, a unique ecotourism destination of its kind. This art

nonrenewable degrades quickly and disappears under the influence of natural phenomena. It is imperative to protect what exists in the form in which the works have survived
