Roots of Jidokwan
Martial arts is like fluid. You can try to hold it in your hand, but it will slip out. The best way to take it with you is to drink deeply. In so doing, you will be refreshed. The characters for Karate used to mean "China Hand", but Gichin Funakoshi changed them to mean "Empty Hand". After World War II. In many ways Taekwondo is the Korean influenced form of Karate.
