The discipline was developed in Korea in 1945, though it was not given the name Taekwondo until the 1950's. Some new schools called "kwans" were established in Seoul by a group of Korean martial arts fanatics, combining a number of various martial arts techniques. In Taekwondo the emphasis is on kicking, especially spinning/jumping kicks, head kicks and rapid kicking strategies.

Ever since the Sydney Olympic Games in the year 2000, Taekwondo has been a competitive Olympic sport. This has added to its popularity worldwide with some sixty million people or more routinely taking classes. And it is by enrolling in a Taekwondo class or club that you are able to begin your quest of learning this remarkable martial art.
