Style: Taekwondo is known for its emphasis on kicking techniques, which distinguishes it from martial arts such as karate or southern styles of kung fu. The rationale is that the leg is the longest and strongest weapon a martial artist has, and kicks thus have the greatest potential to execute powerful strikes without successful retaliation. Historically, the Koreans thought that the hands were too valuable to be used in combat.
Physically, taekwondo develops strength, speed, balance, flexibility, and stamina. An example of the union of mental and physical discipline is the breaking of boards, which requires both physical mastery of the technique and the concentration to focus one's strength.

Basically, her fighting style is inspired by Taekwondo. She relies on her legs to take down an opponent while her fists are rarely used. However, she learned how to grapple from her fights in middle school.
In a fight, she always wants to make the first move. Most of her moves are offensive, and unlike her serious demeanor, her fighting style looks sloppy and undisciplined. In fact, battle is the only time she lets her reckless side come out.
At the beginning of the fight, she tries to stay calm and clearheaded. However, depending on the ability of the opponent, she may get desperate and resort to dirty tricks.
Her worst fear about fighting is losing.
Weaknesses: Unlike her legs, her arms are not as strong despite the trouble she goes through to develop her upper body strength. Tasks such as climbing walls or ropes take more out of her than jogging.
Her arm weakness also extends to her fighting. She rarely punches or flips anyone over unless she is extremely desperate. Usually, she relies on her speed and legs to win.
Although she is well-aware of her limits, she will often force herself to succeed in whatever she's doing. Her determination is a good characteristic, but in athletics, it can cause injuries.
Strengths: She's flexible, stronger than most girls her age and size, and quite fast. When training, she makes sure to keep her speed, strength, and flexibility developing at the same rate.
She is also well-aware of her limits. She knows how fast she can run, how hard she can kick, and pretty much almost anything her body can do. Her goal is to overcome those limits and become a stronger person.
In addition to being fast, her legs are also powerful when it comes to kicking. She attributes this to Taekwondo since the sport often makes use of the feet.[/ul]
