The following is composed of various Korean terminology used through the study of Taekwondo. Since the Korean language is written using Hangul and not the Roman alphabet, all the spellings you will find are approximate romanizations and are written in such a way to aid the student in enunciating the terms properly.

The terms contained on this site were constructed under established guidance from the Kukkiwon, "Taekwondo Technical Terminology" (March 1, 2012) publication.
