Learning Taekwondo Basic Movement

Taekwondo is a Korean self-defense sport that is also popular in the world. This sport is also a national sport of Korea. This is the most widely played martial art in the world and also competed in the Olympics. In Korean, Tae means "kicking or destroying with the feet"; Kwon means "boxing"; and Do means "way" or "art". Thus, Taekwondo can be freely translated as "hand and foot art" or "foot and fist". The popularity of taekwondo has led to this art evolving in various forms. Like many other martial arts, taekwondo is a combination of fighting, martial arts, sports, fitness, entertainment, and philosophy.

this art generally emphasizes kicks made from a movable attitude, using greater range and leg strength to paralyze the opposite from a distance. The kicks include jumping kicks, spinning, skipping and dropping, often in the form of a combination of multiple kicks. The taekwondo practice also includes a thorough system of punches and defenses by hand, but generally does not emphasize grappling.
