Taekwondo
is a Korean form of martial arts, it is the national sport of South
Korea. Taekwondo has earned the title of "most popular form of martial
arts". The term Taekwondo, when translated from Korean means: tae - "to
strike or break with foot", kwon - "to strike or break with fist", and
do - "way" or "method" thus when the term Taekwondo is loosely
translated to english it means, "the way of the foot and fist".
Taekwondo has developed into a combination of the following: self
defense, exercise, combat techniques, sport, meditation, and philosophy.
