Chosen as the definitive Korean martial art, taekwondo is trademarked by its powerful combination of kick movements. Taekwondo, which means "the way of kicking and striking," was introduced to the Olympic Games as a demonstration sport at the Seoul 1988 Games, only recently becoming an official Olympic Sport at the 2000 Olympic Games in Sydney. During those 2000 Games, 103 athletes — 55 men and 48 women — from 51 countries took part in the taekwondo competition.
