Taekwondo (also spelled Tae Kwon Do, Taekwon-Do) is Korea's most popular martial art and is also a national Korean sport. This is the most widely played martial art in the world and also competed in the Olympics.

In Korean, only Tae means "kicking or destroying with the feet"; Kwon means "boxing"; And Do means "way" or "art". Thus, Taekwondo can be rendered freely as "the art of the hands and feet" or "the way" or "the way the feet and fist".

The popularity of taekwondo has led to this art evolving in various forms. Like many other martial arts, taekwondo is a combination of techniques of fighting, martial arts, sports, fitness, entertainment, and philosophy.
