    Hi there.

    I am looking for some korean fighting phrases.

    I’m looking for the writing of something like:

    Never Back Down or

    Fight to the bitter end (I believe there is a saying for this, somthing like shum-po or something like that) or

    Indomitable Spirit (I do Taekwon-do)

    Anything that means that you won’t give up.

    Please.

    Rgds.

    Stian.
