taekwondo practice

Taekwondo (also spelled Tae Kwon Do or Taekwon-Do) is a Korean martial art that is also a Korean national sport. This is one of the most popular martial arts in the world to compete in the Olympics. [2]

In Korean, hanja for Tae means "kick or crush with feet"; Kwon means "boxing"; and Do means "road" or "art". So, Taekwondo can be freely translated as "hand and foot art" or "road" or "foot and fist way". The popularity of taekwondo has caused this art to develop in various forms. Like many other martial arts, taekwondo is a combination of fighting, martial arts, sports, bodybuilding, entertainment and philosophy.
