Taekwondo (also, Tae Kwon Do, Taekwon-Do, or Tae Kwon-Do) is a martial art and combat sport originating in Korea. Taekwondo is the national sport of South Korea and sparring, kyeorugi, is an Olympic sporting event. In Korean, derived from hanja, tae means to destroy with the feet; kwon means to strike or smash with the hand; and do means "path", "way" or "method". Hence, taekwondo is loosely translated as "the way of the feet and fist". (From Wikipedia.org)
