Question

in english. translated in english.

Answer 1

In Korean, derived from hanja, Tae means "to kick or destroy with the foot"; Kwon means "fist"; and Do means "way" or "art". Hence, Taekwondo is loosely translated as "the art of hand and foot" or "the way of the foot and the fist".

Answer 2

Tae - jumping or flying, to kick or smash with the foot.
Kwon - to punch or destroy with the fist.
Do - the "art" or "way" of.

Tae Kwon Do may be the most maligned of arts. You are asked to believe that it was created for the destruction of one man by another. You are entertained by the smashing of boards and are told that this power is the goal of Tae Kwon Do

You hear high-pitched incantations and are led to believe that somewhere within these sounds lies the mystique of Tae Kwon Do.

This is show business. It is not Tae Kwon Do. Like all show business, the act will change whenever the opportunist believes that your mood has changed. But Tae Kwon Do does not change. It is constant in form and purpose. It was created by nonviolent men to discourage violence.

It does give power. A power of self-defense far more frightening than the mere shattering of boards. But it never once suggests an offensive use of this power. It does bring physical well being, for there is no discipline of man which trims, shapes or conditions the body as well.

It does bring a fluidity to motion, a grace to movement, and physical harmony. And it does more. It brings self-strength, self-knowledge, self-confidence, and self-control. It reaches toward "ki"... the development of a total being capable of meeting any challenge with calm and success. It brings one to himself. It is a "way" of life.

Answer 3

Tae Kwon Do is a form of martial arts that combines high standing and jump kicks, as well as punches. It's translation into English means "the way of foot and fist fighting." Training in Tae Kwon Do involves learning kicking, punching, and blocking in various combination of traditional sets known as hyung. As students improve their hyung, they receive different belts with a black belt being the highest level. However Tae Kwon Do isn't used as a way to beat the **** out of someone you don't like, it's a form of self-defense that involves strict mental and physical training and strong moral character! Well i hope that I've helped you figure out the answer to your question!
