About Taekwondo
Taekwondo is a traditional Korean martial art practised in 206 countries. that teaches more than physical fighting skills. Taekwondo is a Korean word composed of three parts - 'Tae' meaning foot or to step on, 'Kwon' means to fist or fight and 'Do' refers to the way or discipline. (Olympic.com/taekwondo)
The origin of taekwondo dates back to Korea's Three-Kingdom era (c.50 BC), when Shilla Dynasty warriors, the Hwarang, began to develop a martial art: Taekkyon ("foot-hand").
During the early 20th century, taekwondo became the dominant form of martial arts practised in Korea. Subsequently, taekwondo was designated as the Korean national martial art to be promoted internationally. In 1973, the World Taekwondo Federation (WTF) was founded as the worldwide legitimate governing body of the sport, and the first World Championships were held in Seoul, Korea that year.
