Master(right-hand, black belt) and I(left-hand, white belt). This picture was taken before training. I took the training with a Danish man who has practiced for 9 months. So, this training was not for tourists but for usual program. It was really tough. Before moving body, master told me the features and the history of Teakwondo. There are 2 clothes behind us, in which you can see 3 Chinese characters. It reads Teakwondo. The fist character means foot, the second one is fist and the last means the way of life. Teakwondo was maid by a Korean man who had leaned Karate, Japanese martial arts. Thus it is similar to Karate but not the same. Foot techniques are used(80 %) more than punch. By the way, they have about the same weight in Karate. Therefore we can see many beautiful foot techniques in Teakwondo game.
