Taekwondo

 Popular martial arts sports are often claimed to have a historical origin on the Korean

Peninsula, which is said to date back to the first century B.C. However, these historical

claims are difficult to verify empirically and are difficult to separate from the influence of

neighboring countries. The sport became famous after the Japanese occupation and World

War II. Formal rules were enacted in 1961 and became an Olympic sport in 1988. The

name "Taekwon" literally means the method of feet and fists, but the modern emphasis is on

kicking. This can help justify the association of sports with the traditional custom of

Taekkyeon, which began in Korea in the 4th centuryGoguryeo. Taekkyeon uses hands and

feet, and only open feet and hands are allowed during the game. Its movements are

smoother and more curvy than Taekwondo. Although the two sections start with the sound

"Tae" in English, there is no relationship. 스포츠토토핫

Although there is much controversy over the historical origins of many martial arts in Korea,

there is little doubt that Korean martial arts and sports, whether Koreanized or traditional,

have enjoyed considerable success. Hapkido, Guksu, Hwarangdo, Hanmudo, Judo,

Geumdo, Guksu, and many other styles quickly emerged from independent Korea and

spread to countries around the world. Although they are not as popular as Taekwondo, they

each represent the Korean martial arts spirit that goes back uniquely to ancient times.

Unlike Japanese martial arts, which use "do" at the end of its name, Korean traditional

martial arts were called "musu" or "musu." This can cause some confusion because the "do"

of Taekwondo and Hapkido means "road," but the historical meaning of Hwarangdo is

different from modern usage (like other things, "road"). When martial arts were invented in

the 1960s, the name was borrowed from an ancient group consisting mainly of children of

the aristocracy to learn military tactics, leadership, and combat skills.

History Taekwondo

In 1945, shortly after the end of World War II and the Japanese occupation, a new martial

arts school called Kwan opened in Seoul. The schools were established by Korean martial

artists who majored in Japanese and Chinese martial arts. At that time, due to the decline

and oppression of Japanese imperialism, indigenous studies such as Taekkyeon were being

forgotten. The umbrella term traditional taekwondo refers to the martial arts practiced by the

government officials in the 1940s and 1950s, but the term "taekwon" has not yet been

coined, and in fact, each school was practicing its own art style.

In 1952, President Syngman Rhee witnessed martial arts demonstrations by officers Choi

Hong-hee and Nam Tae-hee of the 29th Infantry Division of the South Korean Army. He

mistakenly recognized the displayed technique as Taekkyeon [13][14][15] and urged the

introduction of martial arts into the military as a single system. From 1955, the directors

began to discuss the possibility of unified Korean martial arts in earnest. Until then,

Tangshudo used the Korean pronunciation of Japanese Chinese characters as a term for

Korean karate.

In 1959, the Korea Taekwondo Association or KTA was established to promote the

unification of Korean martial arts. General Choi of Odo Kwan wanted all other KTA

members to adopt his own chivalry-style taekwondo in a unified style. However, this was

met with resistance because other tubes wanted to create a unified style based on the input

of all tubes as well as the single tube style.[10] In response, Choi broke up with the Korean

Taekwondo Federation in 1966 to establish the International Taekwondo Federation (ITF),

with political differences over teaching taekwondo in the Democratic People's Republic of

Korea and unifying the entire Korean Peninsula. Canada

In 1972, the Korea Taekwondo Association and the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism

established the Kukkiwon as a new national academy for Taekwondo. The Kukkiwon is now

performing many of the functions previously provided by the KTA in terms of defining a

unified government-sponsored taekwondo style. In 1973, KTA and the Kukkiwon supported

the establishment of the World Taekwondo Federation (WTF, renamed in 2017) to promote

the sports aspects of flag-taekwon-do. The WT competition adopts the national sport of

Taekwondo.[10][20] For this reason, Kukkiwon-style taekwondo is often called WT-style

taekwondo, sports-style taekwondo, or Olympic-style taekwondo, but is actually defined by

Kukkiwon, not WT-style.
