Tae Kwon Do Terminology

To help our students, listed below are the most common terms used at Ko's Tae Kwon Do.

The Korean translation is based on words written in the Hanggul Korean alphabet of characters.

Since there is no direct English equivalent, the Korean version is presented as a pronounciation guide (in a general phonetic / syllabic breakdown) and in romanized form (using the English alphabet).

You'll be proud to know another language other than English!
