    Belts & Gradings Patterns Rules & Regulations Terminology History

Terminology

Practicing martial arts also means being exposed to the language of the art.

Taekwonmudo terms should be used during classes as appropriate. The more you use the terminology, the more you learn. If you are having difficulty with a certain word, ask an instructor.

Notes on Spelling and Pronunciation

Spelling and pronunciation may vary depending on where the terminology is taught. Common variations occur with the following letters:

  • K and G (Kup or Gup)
  • CH and J (Chireugi or Jireugi) — Jireugi is pronounced shorter
  • T and D (Tasut or Dasut)
  • P and B (Pam or Bam)
