Finding Paragraph # 1


There are many forms of martial arts that have contributed to Tae Kwon Do, but there does not seem to be an exact number. A few of the forms that I did find include: T’ang-su, Taek Kyon, also known as Subak, Tae Kwon, Kwonpup, and Tae Kwonpup. There are also influences from Judo, Karate, and Kung-Fu. “Taekwondo is an empty-hand combat form that entails the use of the whole body. Tae means “to Kick” or “Smash with the feet,” Kwon implies “punching” or “destroying with the hand or fist,” and Do means “way” or “method.” (Donn F. Draeger and Robert W. Smith)
