Taekwondo Introduction


Taekwondo is a Korean martial art and the national sport of South Korea. In Korean, tae means "to strike or break with foot"; kwon means "to strike or break with fist"; and do means "way", "method", or "path". Thus, taekwondo may be loosely translated as "the way of the hand and the foot."  The name taekwondo is also written as taekwondo, tae kwon-do, or tae kwon do by various organizations, based on historical, philosophical, or politic reasons.
It combines combat techniques, self-defense, sport, exercise, and in some cases meditation and philosophy. In 1989, Taekwondo was the world's most popular martial art in terms of number of practitioners, a type of sparring, has been an Olympic event since 2000. You can buy Olympic Taekwondo Tickets from Sport Ticket Exchange.  Sport Ticket Exchange offers you all sorts of Olympic Tickets especially Olympic Taekwondo Tickets at affordable rates.
