Dojang

Dojang (Korean: 도장) is a term used in Korean martial arts, such as Taekwondo, Tang Soo Do, Kuk Sool Won, and hapkido, that refers to a formal training hall.

It is typically considered the formal gathering place for students of a martial art to conduct training, examinations and other related encounters.

In dojangs where the practice of the art may involve much falling, there will usually be mats on the floor.

The Korean word for gym is more commonly translated as Che Yuk Gwan (체육관, 體育館), which means "sports place".

The equivalent Japanese term for "dojang" is dōjō (道場), which means "place of the way", while the Chinese equivalent is wuguan and mou kwen in Mandarin and Cantonese respectively (武館), which means "martial hall", though Chinese words for dojo/dojang is also translated in Mandarin as daochang and Cantonese as dou cheung via Chinese characters used for Korean/Japanese martial arts schools established in China, Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan.
