Students get trained in the martial art of Taekwondo in Kathmandu, Nepal
Taekwondo was introduced in Nepal as a martial arts discipline in 1983, with a group of Nepalese Taekwondo practitioners performing a Taekwondo Demonstration. Any martial arts along with Taekwondo were banned in the country to practice or to train by or for any Nepalese citizen. After the successful performance of Taekwondo Demonstration the Nepalese Government realized to introduce Taekwondo in discipline force i.e. Nepal Police & Nepalese Army & later it is open for every citizens.
Taekwondo was officially registered as an associate member of Nepal Martial Art Association with other two martial arts disciplines under National Sports Council of Nepal as of Sports Act 2028.
Taekwondo is characterized by its emphasis on head-height kicks, jumping and spinning kicks, and fast kicking techniques. In fact, World Taekwondo Federation sparring competitions award additional points for strikes that incorporate jumping and spinning kicks. To facilitate fast, turning kicks, taekwondo generally adopts stances that are narrower and hence less-stable that the broader, wide stances used by martial arts such as karate. The tradeoff of decreased stability is believed to be worth the commensurate increase in agility.
