History of Taekwondo
Taekwondo, which means the “way of kicking and punching” finds its roots beginning more than 2,000 years ago. It began as a style known as “Subak” or “Taekyon” and was developed as a way of training the mind and body in the ancient kingdom of Koguryo, under the name of “Sunbae.” Paintings of unarmed men using very similar techniques to those of modern day Taekwondo have been found on the ceilings of royal tombs. It was the bacbone of the Hwarangdo during the Silla Dynasty and was aimed at producing leadars of the countries.
Because of Korea’s location, Taekwondo has adapted many similarities of Karate and Kung Fu from its nearby countries of Japan and China including linear movements and circular patterns. Taekwondao seeks coordinated growth and improvements of life through its many different activities.
Training was originally intended only for the royal families and military. However, during the Yi Dynasty, (1397-1907), teaching to the general public began and the focus changed to more of a recreational and physical fitness style of the art.
The first school was started in Yong Chun, Seoul, South Korea in 1945. However, there were many different schools opening with different styles at the same time that all claimed to be of “Korean Tradition.” It wasn’t until 1957 that general Hong Hi Choi, (known as the father of Taekwondo) suggested that the name Taekwondo be the nationally accepted name of the art. On September 14, 1961 an offical decree was finally made to call it Taekwondo and the formed the Korea Taekwondo (KTA) with the general being elected as the first president.
A short time later, the art made its way to the USA and the US Taekwondo Association was formed in 1967, which was then replaced 7 years later by The US Taekwondo Federation.
In 1988 it was a demonstration event in the Olympics and became an official medal sport in 2000 for the Sydney games. It is estimated that 80 million people, spanning 210 countries currently train in the art.

CHILDRENS PROGRAM
(5 TO 12 YRS OLD)
For most kids, every aspect of Taekwondo that they will experience in class will be completely new to them. However, after a very short time studying the art at CDR Taekwondo, they will begin to feel, and you will begin to see, a real difference in them. They will be more confident in their daily life and they may begin to become the first in their class to raise their hand when question is asked, or the first to stand up when someone asks for help. They will be able to perform at a higher level and with more confidence when under pressure. If they are shy you will tend to see them start to come out of their shells. Your child will learn valuable life lessons in every class.
At CDR Taekwondo your child will learn the following benefits:
- Focus and concentration
- Respect and courtesy
- Higher level of concentration
- Self-control and discipline
- Coordination
- Perseverance and patience
- Confidence
- How to resist peer pressure
- Self-defense
- Make new friends
At CDR Taekowndo, your child will learn in a friendly and supportive group, free from being judged or bullied. They will learn to support and encourage each other as they advance through the program.
