Taekwondo is a beautiful martial art that has had a long history and involves a lot of flexibility, coordination, energy... and grace. Of course, it all depends on how you see it. There is that strong sense of satisfaction, accomplishment and pride you get when you knock someone out. and then there is that sense of wounded pride when you are the one who gets knocked out. Oh, did I mention that the former is sometimes accompanied by a concussion, or worse, a broken limb?

Ouch. That's gonna leave a mark.

The sport offers countless dimensions in which you can compete. To name a few, there are
Kyorugi (Sparring),
Poomse (Patterns or commonly referred to as forms) and demonstrations. All of them are impressive in their own ways, although personally I find the demonstrations the most appealing.
I wouldn't recommend watching the whole thing as it does start off a little slow. In my opinion, the most exciting part is between 2:06 and 3:00.
