Taekwondo is a Korean martial art. It developed over 1000 years ago and has become one of the world’s most popular and practiced martial arts today. With proper training and practice, Taekwondo is an ethical and non-aggressive form of self-defense.

Taekwondo is known for placing a lot of emphasis on kicking techniques. This distinguishes it from other martial arts such as karate and kung fu. But Taekwondo also emphasizes breaking power. This is demonstrated in the splitting of wood or breaking of bricks using bare hands and feet.
