1. Brief History
Taekwondo originated in Korea about 2,000 years ago. It was developed as a form of unarmed self-defense to go along with skills with weapons. According to the World Taekwondo Federation the first recorded evidence of this martial art was found in a tomb from the Koguryŏ Kingdom (37 BCE to CE 668), in a mural showing figures practicing martial arts techniques. Historical records from this period indicate that there were taekwondo tournaments. Taesoo, kwonbak, kongsoo, bakhi, and dangsoo are all names for early forms of what is now known as taekwondo. Soobak was the mainstream form between CE 600 and 1400; starting in the late 1300s this was renamed taekyon. Taekyon was the main Korean martial art form until 1909, when Japan invaded and occupied Korea. Between 1909 and 1945, Korean culture and martial arts were suppressed and the Japanese culture and martial arts were introduced. When the Japanese were defeated in 1945, the modern period of taekwondo began. Korean martial arts masters began discussions on how to return to the original taekyon style and on how to merge the different martial arts schools called kwans, into a single style and national sport. Finally, in April 1955, the masters from the different kwans chose the name taekwondo. Taekwondo was accepted as an official sport in 1975 by the U.S. Amateur Athletic Union (AAU). Today, taekwondo is a fast-growing international art and competitive sport and is practiced in more than 190 counties worldwide. It was a demonstration sport at the 1988 Summer Olympic Games in Seoul, South Korea, and became a medal sport in 2000 at the Sydney Games, for men and women. Choi Hong Hi, known as General Choi,
