WTSDA Cho Dan Practice Exam

Ho Sin Sul expresses self-defense in Korean, literally meaning self-protection techniques. The prefix Ho Sin means self-protect, and Sul means technique or art, so it refers to the practical methods used to defend oneself and escape from attacks. In Taekwondo practice, this term is used for the actual defensive techniques rather than the theory or study of the art. Do Hak Sul points to the science or study of the art, not the hands-on self-defense techniques. Kyum Son isn’t the standard term for self-defense in this context, and Ho Shin Sul is just a different romanization of the same characters, while the commonly used spelling in this material is Ho Sin Sul.
