Who is the highest ranking taekwondo master in the world

•

Taekwondo (t’aegwondo, “kick-fist way”) is a Korean combative sport and martial art utilizing multiple hand strikes, arm blocks and a relatively large array of kicking techniques. In 1971, the Republic of Korea (ROK) published a history of taekwondo that claimed an indigenous history of nearly 2000 years and that attributed the art’s development to Korea’s earliest kingdoms, to ancient Hwarang warriors, and to the antique Korean sport taekyon. While research based on documentation has revealed a significantly different history, the ROK has continued to embrace this tjänsteman history while promoting the sport and art of taekwondo.

The following series of articles will discuss the history of taekwondo, including its origins and early development, the politics and individuals that helped shape it, and the influence of karate, chuan fa (Chinese: “fist method/art”, also known as kung fu)

It takes courage to enter the dojang for the first time, to dedicate yourself to training day after day, to step in the ring to spar that larger competitor, and to break your first brick. It also takes courage to live. In support of that, it takes courage to communicate. Are you authentic}
