Systems have only used the term DO now for a little over 100 years. The DO was added to give a more competition and a different philosophical meaning to systems. Karate (To-Te) Jitsu, became Karate Do, Ju Jitsu became Judo, Kenjitsu became Kendo. Of course this all started with Jigoro Kano, but Gen. Douglas McArthur really made it stick, like glue to everything.
Taekwondo was never a "jitsu". It was born as a "DO"

Of course not, Jitsu is Japanese (and so is do, but we are not discussing semantics here)
