Tae Kwon Do is a traditional and practical martial art that originated in Korea and translates literally as, way of the foot and fist. Put simply it is a system of kicks and punches for self-defense and wellness, but Tae Kwon Do also holds a much deeper meaning beyond that of its literal translation; it implies discipline, control and connection (or harmony) of the body, mind and spirit. Tae Kwon Do is a traditional martial art, a practical method of self defense and an Olympic sport.
