Taekwondo is a traditional martial art that originated in Korea, with roots dating back over 2,000 years. It combines self-defense techniques, discipline, and philosophy, focusing heavily on powerful kicks, speed, and agility.
The name "Taekwondo" reflects its principles, meaning "the way of the foot and the hand." Modern Taekwondo, as it's known today, was formalized in the 1940s and 1950s when Korean martial artists unified different styles. It has since gained worldwide popularity, becoming not only a martial art but also an Olympic sport in 2000, symbolizing Korea's rich cultural heritage and dedication to physical and mental development.
