What is Taekwondo?
Taekwondo: (Korean:? English: Taekwondo is a popular martial art in North Korea/South Korea, which evolved from the spread of karate in the Tang Dynasty in Japan. It is a traditional national sport, which uses hand and foot techniques to fight. It consists of Teil, fighting and skill test. Taekwondo is a unique martial art through innovation and development, which has high practical value of self-defense and physical fitness. Through competitions, quality and skill tests, practitioners can enhance their physique, master skills and cultivate perseverance.

192 1 year, Tang handicrafts were brought to Japan by Chuanqiao (1869- 1957), because China was called zhina by the Japanese at that time. In order to let the Japanese at that time accept the culture of "Zhina", Funabashi renamed it karate. Around 1980, Tang Shoudao was changed to Taekwondo by Koreans, mainly because of the richness of China martial arts.

Nowadays, karate, like Japanese judo, has long occupied an important position in the world sports. In fact, this is the contribution of Chinese in Ryukyu and the pride of China Southern School of Martial Arts. Taekwondo is just a leg technique of China North School, and most of it has been supplemented and enriched by China Wushu scholars. Unfortunately, the world, including mainland media, don't know the truth. It is wrong to classify karate as the cultural essence of Japan and taekwondo as the cultural essence of South Korea.

Features Taekwondo is dominated by legs, supplemented by hands, mainly in the use of leg techniques.

The dominant technique in Taekwondo is the leg technique, which accounts for about 3/4 in the overall application, because the length and strength of the leg are the longest and largest in the human body, followed by the hand. Leg moves are varied, which can be high or low, near or far, left or right, straight or soft, and can be rotated or turned, which is extremely threatening and is an effective and practical method to defeat the enemy.

The predecessor of Taekwondo: Hualangdao

According to popular parlance, Hualangdao is the predecessor of ancient Korean Wushu and Taekwondo. In Silla era, a soldier named Hualang became famous in World War I by virtue of this kind of martial arts. He was called into the palace by Silla King to perform and was given the name "Hualang Road", which was widely circulated in the army. After the establishment of Korea, Li Chenggui respected Confucianism, but did not advocate force, and Hualang Dao gradually declined. At the beginning of the 20th century, it evolved into Taekwondo after the transformation of Korean martial artists in exile in China. However, due to the changes of the times, Hualangdao and Taekwondo are very different. For example, Taekwondo mainly adopts the method of lifting legs and kicking, but Hua Langdao advocates that the legs should not be over the knees.

According to Joo Bang Lee's data, this ancient Korean martial arts is called "Hua Rang", and "Hwa Rang" is the name of Joo Bang Lee's martial arts system based on Hua Lang in 1960. 1967, at the request of the Korean government, Zhu Bangli, the founder of Hualangdao, established the Korean Wushu Federation and held a standardized Korean Wushu Expo in 1968. In the same period, Choi Yong Sul, the father of Korean Aikido, awarded Zhu Bangli the eighth section of the black belt of Korean Aikido, which is also the highest section of Korean Aikido. However, due to management contradictions, the Federation was dissolved shortly after the Expo was held. After that, Joo Bang Lee began to focus on the anti-exhibition of "Hualang Road" and established the Korean Hualang Road Alliance. 1968, Joo Bang Lee introduced the "garden road" to the United States, and established the "world garden road alliance" in California in 1972. 1990, Li Zhubang developed an auxiliary system for "Hualang Road" called "TAE Xiudao". The original intention of Taishoudao is to introduce Hualangdao to more people without martial arts foundation for emergency and self-defense.

Hualangdao is a new comprehensive fighting technique, including standing (kicking, hitting, throwing, taking, throwing and throwing) and ground (joint and sleeping). Very comprehensive.

It mainly includes: short-stick fighting and catching the enemy, grabbing the gun with bare hands, fighting back to the leg, fighting back to the fist, fighting back to catch, wrestling and throwing, short-knife fighting and throwing knives, blocking the counterattack, boxing legs, breathing and so on.

In the field of self-defense, the most talked about is mixed fighting. In such a stage where a hundred flowers blossom, various technologies compete with each other. With the continuous progress of technology, generations of rookies and young audiences have been ushered in. Before the TV media could focus their attention on the fighting platform, a new unrestricted fighting technique-Hualangdao-has appeared on the land of South Korea.

Hualang Road originated from the martial arts and medical concepts of the ancient Korean Hualang Knight family, and was created and shaped by Dr. Li Fangzhe, who was highly praised by the Black Belt in the mid-20th century. Hua is created around the needs of martial arts. While other martial arts practitioners show the power of kung fu in the alternation of boxing and boxing, the practitioners of Hualangdao use punching or kicking in the air, locking and tripping on the ground and throwing as fighting strategies.

Li Fangzhe's eldest son, Li Tezhen, inherited his father's career and further improved the flower Dao Lang. He said, "When Hua first came to America, everyone wanted to know how Hua used his fist. The wonderful fighting action attracted many people to learn, so my father readjusted the teaching content and graded the content to adapt this kind of kung fu from South Korea to the new soil. "

He went on to say, "It's not a very popular technology to take a step back and throw again. People who are interested in kung fu want to learn real kung fu, and they also want their kung fu to be elegant and smart. Speaking of kicking, you think about the power of kicking, but you don't feel the action. But the enemy's art needs you to appreciate this kind of action. Grabbing on the ground doesn't look exciting to a large extent. In this regard, we can understand it by watching the changes in the rules of the ultimate fighting competition. Because the audience needs more visible stimulation, if the two sides fall to the ground in the game, the sponsors of the game will ask to start standing again. " Therefore, Hualangdao is a very comprehensive fighting skill.

The following is a common saying about Hualang Road in Taekwondo. It's different from Hualang Road now.

Taekwondo, known as Taekwondo Heel and Flower Dao Lang in ancient times, is a folk martial art that originated in ancient Korea. As early as 688 AD, Silla Kingdom unified the Korean Peninsula, and its economy was prosperous, and all industries flourished, and the "Flower Lang System" was established. When it came to Zhenxing Wang, the "Flower of Dao Lang" was born. Flower Lang Dao is the organizational form of flower Lang system, which is to organize young people to practice martial arts together. Its purpose is "loyalty to the monarch, filial piety, trusting friends, getting cold feet and having a choice in death". This has exercised people's will and physique, and trained a group of soldiers who are loyal to the monarch and filial piety, brave and tenacious, and fearless. Taekwondo activities are recorded in a book describing the customs of Silla, which is the charm of the emperor.

In 935 AD, the post-Koguryo army overthrew the Silla dynasty and established the Koryo dynasty. The combat effectiveness of soldiers comes from daily training and love for Taekwondo. They usually hit walls or wooden blocks with their fists to temper their attack ability. Zhonghui Wang, who loves unarmed combat very much, specially invited Jin Zhendu, a soldier with superior arm strength and martial arts, to perform hand-to-hand combat skills in the court, which made Taekwondo famous and gradually accepted by the general public. 1392, the Koryo dynasty was replaced by the Li dynasty, and martial arts and taekwondo were not paid enough attention, but among the people, this kind of activity never stopped. The General Annals of Wushu Atlas compiled by 1790 contains techniques and methods of Wushu such as unarmed combat and Taekwondo heel, as well as action diagrams and the use of some instruments, which integrates many aggressive Wushu skills into Taekwondo techniques.

19 10 After Japan invaded Korea, it established a colonial government and once banned all cultural activities. Taekwondo is doomed to disappear in North Korea. Some people who are lonely or forced by life go far away from their native land to make a living in China or Japan, while Taekwondo continues. More importantly, it blended with China Wushu and Japanese Wushu, and a new technical system was born. After the Second World War, self-defense rose again, and Koreans who returned from foreign countries also brought their martial arts skills back to their own countries, and gradually merged with Taekwondo, forming the current Taekwondo system. 1955 officially called North Korea's self-defense "Taekwondo".

1966 The first international organization, the International Taekwondo Federation, was established. In order to adapt to major international competitions, the technique of Taekwondo is constantly changing and developing.

Of course, it seems that the movements of Taekwondo are not as smooth as before, nor do they pay so much attention to the balance of the body in sports. However, the test of Taekwondo technology today is not in appearance, but in actual combat. Specifically, the new Taekwondo technique is undoubtedly superior to the old one which is rigidly formal, even when it is attacked in the street and forced to defend itself.

The times are constantly changing, and with the changes of the times, Taekwondo will continue to develop and extend.
