Taekwondo, Tae Kwon Do or Taekwon-Do (νκΆλ) is a Korean martial art, characterized by its emphasis on head-height kicks, jumping spinning kicks, and
fast kicking techniques.
Like Tang Soo Do, Taekwondo always requires wearing a dobok. It is a combative sport and was developed during the 1940s
and 1950s by Korean martial artists with experience in martial arts such as karate, Chinese martial arts, and indigenous
Korean martial arts traditions such as Taekkyon, Subak, and Gwonbeop.
