Korean word for "coordination'
I cant seem to find the Korean word for "coordination" By coordination, I mean in the martial arts sense, physical coordination. I have checked several dictionaries, but keep coming up with the same word..which basically mean "people working together in to do something..as in a "coordinated effort"
Anyone know the korean for "coordination"..like patting your head and rubbing your stomach at the same time?

I'm Korean but I can't really think of anything. I suck i know, I was born in the US
All I can think of is when i was in TKD as a kid, my grandmaster made us say
"Jung shin tong il" which translate to.... mental concentration? Probably pretty close to coordination

Perhaps even mo-u-da , meaning to get ( things, people ) together, to collect , or make a collection of.

"Chong shin tong il" translates as "mind and body as one" so it is pretty close to "coordination" in the literal meaning of the mind and body working together.

Jo-wha could be
Not easy to find an exact word for coordination like "Umma" for "Mom".
"Jo-hap", "Jo-jung", or "Jo-wha" could be. "Jo" means "to put together harmoniously". "hap" emphasizes "together", "jung" emphasizes "balance", and "wha" emphasizes "harmony".
Many Korean words are based on Chinese characters which are convenient and good to express same meanings in shorter syllables. "il" for "hana", meaning "one", for example.
Hope to be a little help.SungBook Bae

Your profile states you’re located in Korea. Why don’t you ask someone?

Because unless they are completely proficient in English, they will have no idea what you are talking about. I know that drill.

Just realized I posted to a thread that’s nearly half a year old.
Broke my own rule. I think I’ve turned a new corner.
