What is Tae Kwon Do?
Tae Kwon Do is a martial art from Korea, characterized by its fast, high and spinning kicks. There are multiple interpretations of the name Tae Kwon Do. Tae Kwon Do is often translated as 'The Way of the Hand and the Foot.'
Tae = 'Foot' or 'to kick' or 'to smash with the foot'
Kwon = 'Fist' or 'to strike or punch with the fist'
Do = 'The way' or 'art'
|
Put this together and Tae Kwon Do means: "The art or way of kicking and punching".
