Taekwondo: The History of Taekwondo
Filed Under Relish Random
Taekwondo means, literally, “the way of foot and hand.” Despite the multitude of types of Taekwondo, due largely to its immense popularity, the forms generally follow the same principle of focusing on kicks thrown from a very mobile and quick stance. The belief is that, because the leg has a longer reach and greater strength than the arm, the practitioner can disable opponents quicker and at a distance. After all, keeping them from hitting you is the name of the game. Some common kicks in Taekwondo are the roundhouse or turning kick, the forty-five degree kick, the axe, the reverse turning kick, and the side kick. Taekwondo develops a person physically by enhancing strength, speed, balance, flexibility, and strength. It is also known for incorporating mental strength with the physical, thus allowing practitioners to break boards with various body parts. The roots of Taekwondo reach deep into the past of Korea. In the beginning, it was a combination of unarmed combat styles created by three rivaling kingdoms, Goguryeo, Silla, and Baekja. These kingdoms sought to train their young men in the arts of survival as well as build up their speed. Unfortunately, despite the arts’ popularity, they suffered greatly and almost died out between the rise of Confucianism and the Japanese occupation. It was not until the end of occupation in 1945, that martial arts regained importance in Korean culture. At the end of the Korean War, nine prominent schools, or “kwans,” had arisen and were ordered to unify by President Syngman Rhee. On 11 April, 1955, Taekwondo was officially created
