TAEKWONDO TERMINOLOGY

These terms are taken from my TKD's school's web page: Dae Han. Dae Han is located in Cheeokee County, Georgia with one school in Acworth and the other in Woodstock.

The color belts associated with the terms are the suggested words to be learned at each belt level and do not reflect the World Tae Kwon Do Federation standards.
