In Korean, derived from hanja, tae (è·) means to kick or strike with the foot"; kwon (æ³) means "fist or to strike with the hand"; and do (é) means "way". Hence, taekwondo is loosely translated as "the way of the foot and hand".

Translated into english it means the way of kicking and punching, or the way of striking with feet and hands.

the art of foot in mouth?
well many martial arts refer to the same thing, but are directed by dialect and so sound different. but no 2 arts are created equal even though they mean the same thing.
