Taekwondo is known for its emphasis on kicking techniques, which distinguishes it
from martial arts such as karate or southern styles of kung fu. The rationale is that the leg is the longest and strongest weapon a martial artist has, and kicks thus have the greatest potential to execute powerful strikes without successful retaliation.

Taekwondo, along with many other martial arts, is traditionally performed in bare
feet, though there are specialist training shoes that can sometimes be worn.
Слайд 15A taekwondo student typically wears a uniform (dobok), often white but sometimes
black (or other colors), with a belt tied around the waist. The colour of belt indicates their level of skill.
