History

The oldest governing body for the sport of taekwondo in Kore is the Korea Taekwondo Association. It was formed in 1959 and represented a collaborative push by nine of the original kwans in Korea. Taekwondo is based on Chinese and Japanese martial arts, as well as three historic forms of martial arts practiced by indigenous Koreans. It was established during the Japanese Occupation of the peninsula and the original schools, known as kwans, taught students the discipline of taekwondo.
