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.
