Korean Martial Arts Terminology
Some of the terminology from our CD and book set (see product information) is included below. This is a rough SAVE to HTML from one of the edited versions of the book. This was created before "final pages" so there may be some terminology or Hangul errors. Please check our product or check with your Sabom Nim to ensure you are using the term correctly and as used in your own do jang.
Note that you may not see the Hangul properly if you do not have the fonts on your MS Windows system that allows viewing.
If you do locate any errors, please notify us using our "Contact" page.
