The history of taekwondo has been a
matter of contention. Taekwondo organizations officially state that taekwondo
was derived from earlier Korean martial arts. Others state that taekwondo is
derived from native Korean martial arts with influences from neighbouring
countries or that it was partially affected by karate during the Japanese
Occupation.
But still, many Tae Kwon Do practioners believe that it is created by General Choi Hong Hi. (For further historical details about General Choi Hong Hi will be posted later.)
