What is Taekwondo?
When answering such a question, the first thing we try to impress upon the person is that Taekwondo is more than simple physical conditioning, mental training and philosophical study. It has to do with the development of the Taekwondo spirit, which carries over into all aspects of a student's life.
In English, the literal translation of Taekwondo is the art of kicking and punching. "Tae" means to kick, "Kwon" means to punch, and "Do" means art. But this is only a superficial translation. That which is truly the essence of Taekwondo can not be seen, touched, smelled, tasted, or heard. It can only be experienced.
