Taekwondo

It can be said that for more than three millennia the Korean people began to practice martial arts. Ching Heung, the twenty-fourth king of Silla Dynasty, would have been the first monarch to train his elite officer corps in Hwa Rang Do, combat art free.

Those young aristocrats trained warriors fiercely over mountains and icy rivers until the time of the union of the Korean peninsula.

The SooBahk, early form of Taekwondo, eventually won fame during the dynasties of Silla and Koguryo by their movements similar to Taekyon and Jujitsu. Some historians believe that many forms of oriental combat, including the spiritual conception of art, have been developed in Korea Hwa Rang Do. according to These new forms, called SooBakGi, have been presented in China as Kwon Bup and Japan as Karate.

During the Koryo Dynasty (918 - 1392) twenty-five positions were being developed by master of SooBakGi, movements similar to modern Taekwondo, so you can see through statues and antique prints found in Korea. After the end of the Koryo Dynasty SooBakGi began to decline and continued to decline until the end of the Yi Dynasty.

When Korea suffered the Japanese rule, they were forbidden to practice their martial arts. Still, Song Duk Ki and Han Il Dong, dedicated practitioners, managed to maintain between the Korean people to Tae tradition Do or Taekyon during this dark period.

In 1945, finally released, Korea could see their old masters open several schools under the most diverse names: Kong Soo Do, SooBahk Do, Tang Soo Do and others. General Choi Hong Hi began to teach martial arts to some military and even gave a demonstration in 1952 for the Korean president Rhee that strongly impressed, ordered all his soldiers to train at the system.

In 1955, the number of Korean styles (Kwans of Taekyon) merged into one that came to be called Tae Soo Do and finally Taekwondo.

In 1966 General Choi Hong Hi creates the International Taekwondo Federation, ITF.

In 1972 General Choi left the Republic of Korea and transferred the seat of the ITF from Seoul to Toronto which is in the province of Ontario in Canada.

Montreal was the city where it was held the world championship 1 under the aegis of the ITF, that already in 1974.

In 1975 ends the development of Hyongs (Poomsae, Tuls) of the new art.

On January 25, 1971, he is elected president of the Korea Taekwondo Association, KTA, MrUn Yong Kim. Due to internal problems, General Choi, transfers the ITF headquarters to Montreal, Canada in 1973. It was then created the World Taekwondo Federation, WTF, in order to reorganize the art and seek its worldwide recognition. Assumes the presidency of the organization, unanimously elected MrUn Yong Kim. Still in 1973 happens the first world championship of Taekwondo, with the participation of 200 athletes and 22 countries. It was a decisive step for the dissemination worldwide. Taekwondo took the rest of Asia in 1974, Europe and the Middle East in 1976, and in 1978 it was played at the Pan American Games. In 1979 he came to Africa.
