About Taekwondo

Taekwondo is a martial arts form that originated in Korea. It is known for exclusively using kicks and punches to defend a person against attacks.
Taekwondo is used for many purposes. Its original use was for self-defense, as used in Korea. However, as the martial arts form progressed, it was gradually used for aerobic exercise and other purposes.
Taekwondo is a Korean word. Translated into English, it means the “Way of using Hands and Feet.” It also refers to keeping the physical body under control.
There are many different forms used in taekwondo, and many of them are exclusive to certain types of taekwondo. The three most common taekwondo forms are four-direction punch, four-direction block, and four-direction thrust.
