Here is some of the terminology used at the Central Florida Martial Arts
Academy. As our basis is in Choi Kwang-Do, a Korean martial art, the vast
majority of these words are Korean. Remember, there is no need to actually have
knowledge of these phrases' translations; however, if you should ever become
curious as to what everything means, this guide should help.
