In Korean Tae means “jump, kick or smash with the foot”, Kwon means “a fist to punch or destroy with the hand”, Do means “art, way or method”.

Tae Kwon-Do refers to a Korean fighting system, which uses the hands and feet to deliver high-energy impact techniques to the opponent. These techniques take the form of punches, strikes, kicks and blocks.
