- 1跆拳道。（就是台灣一般說的跆拳道，來自韓文 태권도，漢字寫作「跆拳道」。）
Taekwondo is a Korean martial art, and also an Olympic sport. Its signature is the legs: taekwondo is known above all for fast, high kicks, including spinning and jumping ones. There are punches and blocks too, but no weapons, and in the Olympic version most of the points come from kicks, which is why matches look so different from boxing or . Like many martial arts, it is organised by coloured belts, from white up to black, and students learn set sequences of movements as well as sparring. It has been a full Olympic sport since 2000, and Taiwan has a real history in it — it is one of the sports where athletes have won Olympic medals, so most students will already know the sport even if the English spelling is new. On the spelling: you will see 'taekwondo', 'tae kwon do', and 'Taekwondo' with a capital letter, all in print. One word and lower case is the most common way now, but none of them is wrong. The word is used uncountably, like other sport names: you 'do taekwondo' or 'practise taekwondo', not 'a taekwondo'.
組成Borrowed straight from Korean 태권도 / 跆拳道. The three Korean syllables each carry a meaning that the Chinese characters show clearly: 跆 tae, to strike or trample with the foot; 拳 kwon, the fist; 道 do, the way or path. So the name means something like 'the way of the foot and the fist' — the order of the pieces tells you why the kicks come first.
