Taekwon-do differs greatly from other martial arts, in that no other artial art is so advanced with regard to the sophistication and effectiveness of its technique through the application of sound scientific principles. Literally translated, “Tae” means to kick or smash with the foot. “Kwon” denotes the fist, chiefly to punch or destroy with the hand or fist, while “Do” means an art or way. Thus taken collectively Taekwon-do indicates the mental and physical training in the techniques of unarmed combat for self-defence as well as health, involving the skilled application of punches, kicks, blocks and dodges with bare hands and feet to the rapid destruction of the moving opponent or opponents.
