What is TAE BO®

What is TAE BO®
Tae Bo® is an exercise that teaches a person how to communicate with the body. It teaches how the mind should operate with the spirit, which God has given us. By the mind working with the spirit one can learn how the body mechanics operate.

Tae Bo® is a program that combines the best of a variety of different exercise disciplines to provide an overall workout. It is the combination of self-awareness and control of martial arts, the focus and strength of boxing, and the grace and rhythm of dance.

• The word "Tae" means "foot and leg" in the Korean language, due to the movements that emphasize the lower body.
• "Bo" is a shortened version of the word "box."
• However, all the letters of "Tae Bo®" have an important meaning as well, because they are significant to the essential demands of "Tae Bo®".

It is important to remember that Tae Bo® will give back to you what it asks of you. It is like the laws of the universe, if you plant a seed and nourish it, it is guaranteed to grow. As your will is tested it is also strengthened. While you push your body you build it as well. As your mind and will are challenged, your spirit that God has given you is embraced.

Tae Bo® requires strength, endurance, technique, and focus; it mandates your mind and soul as well as your body. You will find out how the mind, will, soul and body have come together to form
Tae Bo®. However, Tae Bo® is about more than training your body and getting in shape.



What Makes Tae Bo® Different?
The difference between Tae Bo® and other programs and the key to understanding it, lies within the spirit. Tae Bo® was developed around 1976, by accident when Billy Blanks® was working out in his basement. He developed a workout for himself that used the classic techniques from boxing and martial arts, and then added some dance moves. Martial arts and boxing develop strength, speed, balance, coordination and awareness. The dance moves give the workout energy and rhythm that improves coordination and body awareness and provides a workout for the heart. Thus Tae Bo® was born. Tae Bo® was first offered in Boston in 1982. In 1989, the program was moved to California where Billy taught in his garage then moved to a small studio located in the Los Angeles area. The center was moved to its current location in 1998. The first Tae Bo® workout video was released in 1998.

Tae Bo® is not just about martial arts itself, because it teaches you to punch and kick. Tae Bo® trains you to respond mentally and physically with speed and accuracy. By using Tae Bo®, you discover how powerful your body is and how to use it to defend yourself. Although, we hope you never get into a situation where you have to call on these skills. However, a key to self-awareness is that anything can happen and one should always be prepared for the unexpected. Practicing Tae Bo® will provide you with confidence, self-awareness, tone and quick reflexes if you enter a bad situation. All individuals should know how to protect themselves. They can learn by applying the Tae Bo® philosophy and techniques (punching and kicking).

The exercise and martial arts discipline is spelled 'Tae Bo', but is sometimes incorrectly spelled as Taebo, Taibo, Thaibo, Tai Bo or Thai Bo. No matter what you call it - Tae Bo is your ultimate bootcamp fitness program.
