Description

iTaekwondo is a reference application designed to assist students learning the martial art of Taekwondo (Tae Kwon Do). The material in iTaekwondo is based on the World Taekwondo Federation style.

the following aspects of this martial art:

TERMINOLOGY:
Over 150 terms are available in iTaekwondo.

Audio of each term pronounced in Korean as spoken by a native Korean can be played.

Set self defence movements are provided based on the various belt levels. A description of the self defence movement and a video are available to assist in learning the self defence.

Big big thank you to Marcus Vinicius, 1st Dan Blackbelt, Instructor of Baby Barioni complex in Brazil for the Portuguese translation!

Customer Reviews

Well done and very informative (5 stars)
Woot!

Extremely helpful if you want to brush up on your poomsae (5 stars)

It is all here; video, diagram, pictures, terminolo
