What does the Korean term Kwan So translate to in English?

• A. Spear Hand
• B. Foot Techniques
• C. To Kick
• D. Low Part

Answer: (A)

Kwan So refers to a hand technique where the striking surface is shaped like a spear, giving the impression of a pointed, straight thrust. In Korean martial arts terminology used in this context, the first part conveys the spear-like tool, and the second part denotes the hand, so the combined term is understood as a spear hand. This is a common naming pattern for hand strikes, and it explains why the translation is “Spear Hand.”

The other options don’t fit because they describe different actions or body parts: foot techniques would reference the feet, a kick would be a separate action, and a low part would indicate the lower body rather than a hand strike.
