TAEKWONDO<br />
KOREA'S NATIONAL SPORT<br />
Taekwondo is a form<br />
of martial arts focussed<br />
on controlling your body<br />
and developing a fighting<br />
spirit. Anyone who has watched a<br />
fight or a performance was no doubt<br />
fascinated by the incredibly high kicks, precise<br />
punches and the athletes' speed.<br />
The word taekwondo comes from three Korean syllables:<br />
tae for "foot" or "leg", kwon for "punching", and do, the<br />
"way" or "discipline", which represents the process of spiritual<br />
maturity. Literally translated, taekwondo is the practice of using<br />
your feet and hands. However, the sport is not only about the physical<br />
aspects, but also teaches respect and self-discipline. For example,<br />
in fast-paced matches, professionals are able to stop just a few centimetres<br />
from their opponent's head so that no one is injured.<br />
Taekwondo<br />
evolved<br />
out of traditional Korean<br />
martial arts as well as Japanese<br />
karate. Like in karate, there are different<br />
belt colours in taekwondo that students<br />
can earn through tests.<br />
Traditional taekwondo does not involve<br />
physical contact, but there is also a modern<br />
version with full-contact sparring. The latter<br />
has been an Olympic sport since 1988. In<br />
the modern version of taekwondo, athletes<br />
wear protective gear. The goal is to hit the<br />
opponent with targeted kicks and punches.<br />
