[SulKiDo] [Syllabus]

Glossary of Korean Terms

 Although sessions are conducted in plain English, a number of Korean terms are used in cases where there is no simple English equivalent. The glossary below lists the majority of phrases used within Korean martial arts (but don't panic - most of these are never heard in O.U. SulKiDo!). Pronunciation is phonetic.
