Dynamic Warm-ups
Previously, it was thought that holding long static stretches was the best way to warm up prior to starting your training session.
However, research now suggests a better way to warm-up before Taekwon-Do training is to do dynamic warm-ups. The movements of this type of warm-up should move the muscles in their full range of motion and create a light sweat.
Static Stretching
During Taekwon-Do training, your muscles may begin to tighten as a result of the session.
So it is a good idea to hold long static stretches after you finish training to lengthen the muscles. This may help to reduce muscle soreness the next day and help to improve your flexibility.
