What Is Tae Kwon-Do
Tae Kwon-Do is a form of Martial Art developed in the Korean Armed Forces by Major-General Choi Hong Hi. “Tae” means to jump, kick or smash with the foot, “Kwon” means a fist, chiefly to punch or destroy with the hand or fist, and “Do” means art, or way.
As well as being employed by armed forces in several nations, it is also an exciting sport, with one version being present in the Olympic Games.
