href="#cite_note-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>) is a <a href="/wiki/Martial_art" class="mw-redirect" title="Martial art">martial art</a> (system of fighting) of <a href="/wiki/Korea" title="Korea">Korean</a> origin, similar to the <a href="/wiki/Japan" title="Japan">Japanese</a> <a href="/wiki/Karate" title="Karate">karate</a>. It uses the hands and feet in order to attack or defend against an adversary, although some techniques use fingertips, elbows, or knees in order to strike the opponent. Taekwondo is a national sport in <a href="/wiki/South_Korea" title="South Korea">South Korea</a>, <i>kyeorugi</i> is a sport event in the <a href="/wiki/Olympic_Games" title="Olympic Games">Olympic Games</a>. In the Korean alphabet <a href="/wiki/Hangeul" class="mw-redirect" title="Hangeul">hangeul</a>, <i>태</i> (跆) signifies "to strike with the foot"; <i>권</i> (拳) to "strike with the hand"; and <i>도</i> (道) signifies "way", "road" or "route". <i>Taekwondo</i> can therefore be translated as "way of the foot and of the fist". </p><p>Taekwondo refers to a great tradition of Korean martial arts (higher or under 2000 years), but exists in its current form only near 50 years. Today, it has been changed into a sport practiced very much. In the <a href="/wiki/Olympic_Games" title="Olympic Games">Olympic Games</a> of <a href="/wiki/Seoul" title="Seoul">Seoul</a> <a href="/wiki/1988" title="1988">1988</a> and of <a href="/wiki/Barcelona" title="Barcelona">Barcelona</a> <a href="/wiki/1992" title="1992">1992</a> it became Olympic sport of exhibition and at present it has come to be Olympic sport of competition. </p> <meta property="mw:PageProp/toc" /> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Features">Features</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Taekwondo&veaction=edit&section=1" title="Change section: Features" class="mw-editsection-visualeditor"><span>change</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-divider"> | </span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Taekwondo&action=edit&section=1" title="Edit section's source code: Features"><span>change source</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Taekwondo is best known for its use of kicks. This makes it different from other martial arts such as karate or certain forms of southern <a href="/wiki/Kung-fu" title="Kung-fu">kung-fu</a>. Kicking is important because the leg is the most powerful and longest body part that the martial artist can use as a weapon. Therefore, a fighter who kicks well can hurt his opponent without hurting himself. </p><p>One of the most important exercises is the act of doing <i>poomse</i> (<i><a href="/wiki/Kata" title="Kata">katas</a></i> in terminology of karate). The <i>poomses</i> are the arranged groups of movements of defense and of attack. They simulate a combat against diverse adversaries, and they are related directly to the different degrees of belts. They are done with the purpose to improve the equilibrium, the elasticity, the rapidity and the control of the different movements. </p><p>Taekwondo as a sport and as a form of exercise is popular among people of both sexes and many ages. Taekwondo develops force, speed, balance, flexibility, and stamina. It also involves mental focus. Breaking boards, for example, demonstrates a union of mental and physical discipline. Breaking a board with one's hand or foot requires both the physical mastery of the technique and a concentrated focus on one's force. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="History">History</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Taekwondo&veaction=edit&section=2" title="Change section: History" class="mw-editsection-visualeditor"><span>change</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-divider"> | </span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Taekwondo&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section's source code: History"><span>change source</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Even though some things in Tae Kwon Do have changed over the years, respect is not one of those things.
