Wood taken for sculpting art from Asia (3,4,2)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tae kwon do

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'art from asia' is the definition.
'tae kwon do' can be an answer for 'art' (I have seen 'Martial art ' mean 'tae kwon do' so perhaps 'art' could also mean 'tae kwon do'). I am unsure of the 'from asia' bit.

'wood taken for sculpting' is the wordplay.
'for sculpting' is an anagram indicator.
'wood'+'taken'='woodtaken'
'woodtaken' is an anagram of 'TAE KWON DO'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for tae kwon do that I've seen before include "Modern Korean martial art" , "sport" , "Koreans fighting" , "Martial activity" , "combat" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
