A Brief Taekwondo History

This is a brief look at Taekwondo History. I have tried to make the history into a kind of bullet point history. I start by explaining that Taekwondo is fairly modern, I then go into the different Kwan or schools (Chung Do Kwan, Mu Duk Kwan, Song Mu Kwan, Yun Mu Kwan, Chang Mu Kwan, Oh Do Kwan, Ji Do Kwan) and their founders (Lee Won Kuk, Chun Sang Sup, Yun Byung In, Yun Kwae Byung, Hwang Kee, Choi Hong Hi and others), I also talk about where these people trained and the Karate roots of Taekwondo (Shotokan, Shito Ryu and Shudokan Karate) as well as the Chinese roots, and I also talk about the different organisations competing for power, the Soo Bahk Do Association, the Korean Taekwondo/ Tae Soo Do and back to Taekwondo Association, the founding of the ITF, and the WT and Kukkiwon. I hope that you enjoy the clip and its talk about Taekwondo History.
