Taekwondo －Olympic sport since 2000

　　Various Korean forms of martial arts have existed but in the early 20th century, taekwondo became the dominant form. In 1955 a group of Korean martial arts leaders chose taekwondo as the definitive Korean martial art in an attempt to promote its development internationally.

　　韓國一直存在多種武術形式，但在20世紀初期跆拳道逐漸成為主要流派。1955年，一批韓國武術的領軍人物選擇跆拳道作為韓國的國術，努力推動其國際化發展。

　　In 1973, the Korean government recognised the World Taekwondo Federation (WTF) as the legitimate governing body of the sport, and the first World Championships were held in that year.

　　1973年，韓國政府認可世界跆拳道聯合會(WTF)作為跆拳道運動的合法管理機構，同年舉行了首屆世界跆拳道錦標賽。
