Taekwondo ...

... is a Korean martial art and combat sport.

Taekwondo is the national sport of South Korea and sparring, kyeorugi, is an Olympic sporting event.

In Korean hanja, tae means feet or kicking; kwon means hands or striking; and do means art, path, way, or method.

Hence, taekwondo is loosely translated as the way of the foot and fist.
