A Tae kwon do Girl | The 25 and under crowd

---

A tae kwon do girl is an athlete. Statistically, we know that 41% of all High School athletes are girls. There are 755 more women's college sports teams than men's in the United States. We owe the sports equality phenomenon to the Nixon administration's 1972 - Title IX Act. We have just passed the 35th anniversary of this historic legislation and have now had a lifetime to observe its effects on girls athletics. In 1972 when Title IX was passed, only 1 in 27 girls participated in sports. Now 1 girl out of every 2.5 play sports. That's a dramatic difference. Participation in tae kwon do sport at a younger age gives female athletes numerous advantages throughtout life.
