Tae Kwon-Do (also spelled Taekwondo or Taekwon-do) is a hard-style martial art originating in Korea. A combination of Chinese (Kung-Fu), Japanese (Karate), and traditional Korean fighting styles (Subak), Tae Kwon-Do has become the world's most commonly practiced martial art, and is the national sport of Korea as well as an Olympic sporting event.
In Korean, derived from hanja, tae means "to strike or smash with the foot"; kwon means "to strike or smash with the hand"; and do means "way" or "path". Hence, Tae Kwon-Do is loosely translated as "the way of the foot and the fist". Tae Kwon-Do's popularity has resulted in the divergent evolution of the martial art. As with many other martial arts, Tae Kwon-Do is a combination of combat technique, self-defense, sport, exercise, entertainment, and philosophy.
Although there are great doctrinal and technical differences among public and private Tae Kwon-Do organizations, the art in general emphasizes kicks thrown from a mobile stance, using the leg's greater reach and power to disable the opponent from a distance. In sparring, round kicks, front kicks, axe kicks, side kicks and back kicks are most often used. Advanced kicks include skipping, jumping and spinning kicks, often in combination. Tae Kwon-Do training also includes a comprehensive system of hand strikes and blocks, and emphasizes grappling but not until the higher belt levels.
