In all martial arts, balance is critical because you need good balance to stand on one leg and kick and jump. There are many different ways that you can improve your balance. Students who are much younger and have not developed a sense of balance yet or older students who have lost some of their balance can stand on one foot and practice lifting their knee at a 90-degree angle without falling over. Yoga is a great way to improve your balance and works very well with Taekwondo training. Poses such as the tree pose help to improve your balance.
