The WTKDC Black Belts
 Translated
into English, Tae Kwon Do means "The art or way of hands and/or
feet (kicking and punching)". Tae Kwon Do is the Korean system
of unarmed combat, utilizing both the feet and the hand as weapons.
But
it is more than just a fighting skill - it is a strict physical
and mental discipline. Through the
coordination of body control, balance and technique trained in the
forms, this martial art becomes a highly effective means of self
defense as well as a practical method of physical fitness.
Tae Kwon Do is
known among the oriental fighting arts for its powerful kicking
techniques and primarily linear motions in combat, as opposed to
a more circular and "softer" style such as Kung Fu.
Many Tae Kwon
Do practitioners still refer to their art as the Korean style of
Karate. "Karate" is a Japanese word meaning "empty
hand", but it has come to be recognized as the generic name
for all karate-like arts - whether Japanese in origin or not.

Tae Kwon Do schools in the entire Washington area. We teach
