The Origin and History of Taekwondo
Ancient taekwondo
In primitive society, most Korean people lived a family farming life, supplemented by hunting in their spare time. In order to get food and resist the invasion of foreign forces and the attack of wild animals, people have gradually developed some methods of exercising and participating in combat through repeated practice. These instinctive inventions gradually evolved into purposeful and conscious fighting activities in the process of social evolution, forming the embryonic form of ancient Taekwondo. At that time, the purpose of people's fighting skills was not only to get food, resist invasion and wild animals, but also to participate in fighting skills activities. It is recorded in history books, which shows that fighting skills were quite popular at that time.
The Forms of Taekwondo in Korea during the Three Kingdoms Period
Koguryo, Silla and Baekje coexisted during the Three Kingdoms period on the Korean Peninsula. Around the first century BC, the Three Kingdoms rose one after another. Koguryo is in the north of the Korean peninsula, Silla is in the southeast and Baekje is in the southwest. In order to compete for territory, there was a dispute, so the form of taekwondo developed rapidly during this period to meet the needs of war. According to ancient records, "Taekwondo refers to the flexible use of hands and feet to exercise limbs and body, which is the basis of martial arts." Fencing is based on the operation of knocking down an opponent with bare hands. It can be seen that the martial arts practitioners at that time were able to use their hands and feet flexibly to defeat their opponents and become excellent soldiers. Koguryo, Silla and Baekje all had different names for Taekwondo at that time.

Rugby originated in England as rugby. Because of its spherical shape, it is called "rugby" in China. Rugby is actually the name of an English town. In this town, there is a public school called Rugby School, which is the birthplace of rugby.
According to legend, the school held a football match in 1823. At that time, the game was very fierce. One of them, a boy of 16 years old, named wilhelm weber Webbellis, actually picked up the ball on the ground in desperation and ran to the opponent's goal. In the future school football match, it often happens to run with the ball. Although this action violated the rules of football at that time, it gave people new enlightenment. This phenomenon of running with the ball adds a confrontational atmosphere of fierce competition to the game, which is accepted by people and becomes a legal behavior after a long time. In this way, a new sport-rugby, which is beneficial to the all-round development of the body and has high exercise value, is gradually derived from football.
Rugby evolved from football. 1823, a football match is being held in a university in rugby, England. The team behind the score stormed the opponent's goal, but it couldn't be captured for a long time.
At this time, team member Ellis was very impulsive. He picked up the football and rushed to the opponent's goal. Other players came forward to stop him, but he avoided them. Finally, Ellis finally threw the ball into the opponent's goal. Of course, the ball was ruled invalid, but this impulsive move led to a new sport-rugby. Because the ball is shaped like an olive, people call this new sport "rugby".
The size of the football field is close to that of the football field, and the players are 1 1 from both sides. You can kick and hug in the game, which is inevitable to be rough and fierce, so all the players on the field wear helmets or protective gear.
However, after careful textual research, later historians found that the story was completely untrue, but the legend was very powerful and had been deeply rooted in people's hearts. Today, there is a stone tablet in Rugby School, which reads: "This stone tablet comments on the exploitation of wilhelm weber Liss." "This monument is to commemorate Ellis' brave behavior." Even the highest honor of rugby football, the Rugby World Cup trophy, is named after Webb Ellis, called the Webb Ellis Cup.
After 1839, the sport gradually developed in Cambridge and other universities, and the Galabi Club was established one after another. Rugby Association was formally established on 187 1. People often play football. Since then, rugby has been introduced to Europe and America. 1890 established the international rugby organization, 1906 held an international rugby match in France. Since then, rugby has developed in many countries and has not changed. Many countries have created rugby suitable for their own countries, among which American rugby is the most famous. Today, rugby is popular in as many as 94 countries in the world. The highest international organization is the International Rugby Council, which consists of four domestic associations in England, Scotland, Ireland and Wales and three foreign associations in New Zealand, Australia and South Africa. Its main task is to formulate the rules of rugby competition and the development policy of rugby.
