General Info

What is Tae Kwon Do? The literal meaning (translation) of Tae Kwon Do is "foot, hand, art"- or the way of the hand and foot. However, Tae Kwon Do means much more than kicking and punching. It is a non-violent discipline that achieves the goal of inner peace by conditioning the entire body. This art originated in Korea and it is now the most practiced martial art in the world.
