Tae Kwon Do classes offered at the Neighborhood Resource Center show that some forms of fighting can be beneficial.

Many of the martial arts movies of the 1970s show the all but invincible Bruce Lee doling out powerful punches and lightning fast kicks to his enemies. Today, actors like Jackie Chan and Jet Li carry on this tradition of dynamic fighting on the silver screen.

Partly, as a result of media images such as these, the popularity of many marital art forms in America has grown. This includes Tae Kwon Do. This particular style of martial art originated in Korea and is widely recognized for its flying kicks.

In reality, Hollywood fighting scenes are a far cry from what goes on in the Tae Kwon Do class at the Neighborhood Resource Center in Richmond
