Since this is a Korean blog, I&#8217;m going to be discussing Taekwondo (<strong>\ud0dc\uad8c\ub3c4<\/strong>). <strong>\ud0dc<\/strong> = means to strike with your foot. <strong>\uad8c<\/strong> = means to strike with your fist. <strong>\ub3c4 <\/strong>= means &#8216;way&#8217; or &#8216;method&#8217;.
