I used the Japanese word Jitsu so everyone would understand.

In fact, Taekwondo's roots are a Jitsu. Example: Before Karate introduced on a large scale in Japan during the 1920's, it existed in Okinawa for hundreds of years before as TO-TE JITSU. The Chinese characters that translate into the Okinawan language as "To-te Jitsu", also Translate into the Japanese language as Karate Jitsu, and into the Korean language as Tang Soo Sool, I believe.
