Taekwondo is one of the most systematic and scientific Korean traditional martial arts, that teaches more than physical fighting skills. It is a discipline that shows ways of enhancing our spirit and life through training our body and mind.
The name Taekwondo is derived from the Korean word "Tae" meaning foot, "Kwon" meaning fist and "Do" meaning way of. Taekwondo means "the way of the foot and fist". (The name Taekwondo, however, has only been used since 1955 while the arts' roots began 2,300 years ago in Korea). Fast forward to today, where Taekwondo is now the national sport of South Korea and has spread to over 211 countries and is widely practiced as a martial art and as an Olympic sport.
