| As it is literally translated from the Korean, Tae means "to kick or " to strike with the foot", Kwon means "fist or "or to strike with the hand", and "Do" means " Diszipline" or "art". Taken together,Tae Kwon Do means"the art of kicking and punching"or the art of unarmed Kombat. |
| Modern day Tae Kwon Do, as it has come to be developed over the years, is a unique martial art incorporating both the quick, straight line movements that characterize the varius Japanese systems and the flowing circular movements of most chinese styles. But more than this, what truly distinguishes Tae Kwon Do are its varied and uniquely powerful kicking techniques. It is this prominent use of leg and kicking techniques that sets Tae Kwon Do apart from all other martial arts systems. Yet, Tae Kwon Do is far more than simply a system concerned with physical prowess, for it is also an art directed towards the moral development of its students. |
