Posted: Oct 10, 11:21 PM
MARTIAL ART: Tae Kwon Do
Catch Phrase: The Dance of Precision
In Your Nia Practice: Nia moves inspired by Tae Kwon Do place an emphasis on precision and on developing Organic Skill, which is the perfect balance between what is mechanically perfect and natural to your body’s way and technique. A Nia Tae Kwon Do experience includes using hand technique, blocks, punches, strikes, kicks, and sound. Circular movement creates powerful directed linear action. Speed changes challenge the quick and slow twitch muscle fibers and improve your strength, flexibility, agility, mobility, stability and, overall body-mind co-ordination. Stances, kicks, and grounded movement are cornerstones in the foundation of bare foot Nia choreography, making it possible to receive cardiovascular benefits without repetitive jogging and jumping up and down. You learn to work from a place of dynamic ease, and benefit from directing your body with physical, mental, emotional and spiritual energy.
