___ TEACHING THE “DO”

 

Why is the word Taekwon-Do split between Taekwon and -Do?

Taekwon-Do was written as such, as it joined the two physical parts of the art together, utilizing the dash (-) or hyphen to not only separate them from the non-physical mental aspects of the art, but to allow the “Do” to stand off by itself, as that was what he would say is the most important part of the art.
