Taekwondo is a martial art of Korean origin. "Taekwondo" is a Korean term in which "Tae" means legs for kicking and smashing, "Kwon" means hands for blocking and punching and "Do" means the way (i.e the way of the martial art; the way of life).

Taekwondo is a bare handed martial arts form. Taekwondo forms uses bare hands and legs for attacking the opponent. It has become a worldwide martial art due to it's distinguished powerful and various leg movements that sets it apart from other martial arts.
