Even those that have never tried martial arts before know a few basic martial arts related terms. By now, many of us have seen Cobra Kai, or Kung Fu Panda, or at least one of the dozen or so Ninja Turtles games. Through this media, we learn some common martial arts terminology, one of the most common is the term “Dojo” to refer to the training center where people learn these martial arts styles.

But that’s not entirely correct. If you’re looking for a “dojo” in West Chester, Paoli, Exton, or the many cities in our region, what you may really want is a Dojang.

Dojang or Dojo?

There are different forms of martial arts. There’s Karate, Jiu Jitsu, Kung Fu, Krav Maga, and many others. At our martial arts center, we practice Tae Kwon Do, one of the most popular and effective forms of martial arts in the world – and one that is loved by both children and adults.

Tae Kwon Do originated in Korea. In Korean, the word for “martial arts training center” is actually Dojang, not Dojo. The term “Dojo” is Japanese, and refers to the training centers used for Karate, which is a Japanese style of martial arts.

Many people are familiar with the term “Dojo” because it’s been in films like Karate Kid, but may not realize that it refers to a very specific type of building for a specific type of training, not necessarily martial arts in general. Often times when someone searches for a West Chester dojo – or any other “dojo” in Chester County – they’re really looking for a martial arts training center that meets their needs.
