What is taekwondo?
Taekwondo is a Korean martial art that is also the national sport of South Korea. In Korean, “tae” means “to strike or break with foot”; “kwon” means “to strike or break with fist”; and “do” means “way,” “method,” or “art.” So the closest English meaning of “taekwondo” is “the way of the foot and fist” or “the way of kicking and punching.”
