Tangsoodo or Tang Soo Do is a traditional Korean martial art. The name itself literally translates to "Way of the T'ang hand" or "Way of the Chinese hand" specifically referring to the Tang Dynasty and the empty handed fighting styles practiced at the time in China. However, there may be other more subtle meanings behind that reference that include such traits as "Worthiness", "Skillful", and "Strong". Since the name does not translate well today, many people are content with the definition "Way of the empty hand".
