what is taekwondo?

 Kukkiwon, also known as the World Taekwondo Headquarters, is the official taekwondo governing organization established by the South Korean government. It is supervised by the International Sports Division of the Ministry of Culture, Sports, and Tourism. A Kukkiwon certificate is widely regarded as the most prestigious of all the Black Belt certificates within the art of Taekwondo. The World Taekwondo Federation, which is the international governing body for Taekwondo, requires that all those who wish to compete at international level be Kukkiwon certified. 

 Taekwondo is a Korean martial art that originated over 2,000 years ago and is recognized as one of the oldest forms of martial arts in the world. It involves punching and kicking techniques and sometimes involves the use of weapons. Taekwondo is a discipline that teaches more than physical fighting skills and teaches discipline, allowing us to train our bodies and minds to improve our spirit and life. It is now the most practiced Martial Art in the world and has been recognized as an Official Olympic Sport for 20+ years.
