    The history of Taekwondo can be traced back to ancient Korean kingdoms through murals and records depicting fighting styles. During the Silla dynasty, King Jin Heung established an elite group of warriors called the Hwarang to defend the kingdom. The Hwarang were trained not only in combat techniques called Tae Kyon, but also in philosophy, history, and poetry. This holistic training approach is still reflected in modern Taekwondo. Taekwondo continued to develop and spread throughout Korean culture during the Koryo dynasty when martial arts became a popular organized sport.

    History of Taekwondo

    One of the earliest clues of Taekwondo’s existence is a mural painted on the wall of a
    tomb that was built in the Korean kingdom of Koguryo, between 37 BC and 66 AD. The drawing
    shows two unarmed figures facing each other in a Taekwondo style stance. Additional drawings
    in the tomb show figures performing blocks and wearing uniforms similar to those used in
    modern day Taekwondo training.

    The advancement of Taekwondo and its techniques developed as the country of Korea
    developed. There are examples and history of Taekwondo training in virtually all the records of
    the different kingdoms that existed within the country throughout the centuries.

    The highest form of the ancient art was achieved in the kingdom of Silla. This tiny kingdom
    constantly faced attacks and opposition from larger and stronger areas. As a result the ruler of the
    kingdom, King Jin Heung, established an elite group of warriors called the “Hwarang” or
    “Flower of Youth”.

    The Hwarang consisted of the sons of nobles within the kingdom. They were carefully selected
    and formally trained in all aspects of military skills including unarmed combat, which at the time
    was known as Tae Kyon. It is significant that the Hwarang were taught not only the importance
    of developing their bodies, but their minds and spirits as well. In addition to fighting techniques,
    the young warriors were instructed in history, poetry, and philosophy. The entire body of study
    was known as Hwarang Do. The Hwarang gained skills not only for battle, but for daily life. This
    relates directly to modern Taekwondo training, which provides self defense skills as well as
    improved character, self-discipline, and confidence that can be applied to any task.

    Following the Silla dynasty came the Koryo dynasty (935 AD – 1352 AD) from which Korea
    takes its name. Martial arts practice, known as Subak Do, became popular as an organized sport
    with detailed rules. The royal family sponsored competitions and demonstrations, and martial
    arts became deeply rooted in Korean culture.
