Taekwondo. Martial art of South Korean origin, whose name can be translated as “The way of feet and fists” (Korean: 태권도). From this definition comes the idea that taekwondo is not only a martial art but also a way of training the mind and achieving self-control through combat movements. Taekwondo stands out from other martial arts, especially in its form, by the high degree of specialization of its practitioners in kicking techniques. It has been part of the Summer Olympics program since 2000.
