History

The version of Taekwondo that we know today is credited to South Korean general Choi Hong Hi. The martial art was established around 1945, when Japan ended its occupation of Korea. Incorporating elements of Karate, Judo, and Aikido, Taekwondo places a special emphasis on elaborate kicking moves. The most famous of these is the head kick, which involves remarkable leg strength and flexibility. The U.S. Taekwondo Association was established in 1967 and in 1988 the martial art made its Olympics debut in Seoul.
