Taekwondo History and Introduction answers:

1. Taekwondo is a martial art that was first created in the 1940s by Korean martial artists, the sport was designed to be a
mix of Korean fighting styles (Taekkyeon, Gwonbeop & Subak) with Karate and Chinese martial arts. Taekwondo now
an Olympic sport that is practiced all over the world. However, Taekwondo’s main goal was to teach self defense and
counterattack in unarmed combat.
2. Taekwondo is considered a young martial art as people began to practice the sport in 1945 after the Japanese Imperial
occupation of Korea came to an end. This was a significant time for Taekwondo as it allowed for martial arts schools,
known as Kwans, to open and teach Taekwondo. The sport became so popular in South Korea that the South Korean
military used Taekwondo as their unarmed combat discipline. In 1959 the first ever Taekwondo federation was
founded, the Korea Taekwondo Association, this was a massive step for the sport as it meant that official competition
could take place which would then boost the sports popularity.
3. The word “taekwondo” (sometimes seen as, “tae kwon do”) consists of three parts: “tae,” meaning foot, “kwon,”
meaning fist or hand, and “do,” meaning way of life. All together, taekwondo literally means, “foot and fist way of life.” 
4. Taekwondo puts huge emphasis on the importance of balance between attack and defense. “Do” means “the way.”
This is the mental part of the sport that refers to the mind and shows it is deeper than just training yourself physically.

they do the training of the mind.  
5. The five tenets of Taekwondo are Courtesy, Integrity, Perseverance, Self-control and Indomitable spirit.
