What is the Korean term for "sit"?

The Korean term for "sit" is "Ahn Jo." In Taekwondo and many Korean martial arts contexts, this term is used to instruct someone to sit down or to assume a seated position. Understanding this term is valuable not only for practicing commands and movements in the art but also for adhering to the etiquette and cultural aspects of martial arts training where respect is often demonstrated through such actions.

In contrast, "Shio" translates to "rest," which may imply a moment of pause but does not specifically command sitting down. "Shi Jak" means "begin," often used to signal the start of an activity or exercise. Lastly, "Ba Ro" means "return" or "go back," indicating a reversal in position or movement rather than a sitting action. Each of these terms serves a distinct purpose in a martial arts setting but does not specifically convey the command to sit as "Ahn Jo" does.
