What is Taekwondo and his history? 

WTF?!

this not taekwondo history, but WTF taekwondo history

Taekwondo started in 1950s, This is lie.

I've read countless taegwondo books, and I know they'd based the history on the WTF's claims. Besides, some TGD organizations admit about its karate roots.

i cant believe my school sent me this link

haha this video is so wrong. Taekwondo wa sgreated by Choi. Read the book " a killing art" by alex gillis. Thats the true story. Lol incredible how they are telling the untruth in this Video

@CasualKillZz: Sorry, but taegwondo did came from karate.

I can bet that the creator looked at the chickens fire when create it, a chicken can't use wings to protect it check, neck and head but the human can.

Why is everyone trolling in the comments and massed disliked this video for. I know this outdated. People makes mistakes and they want it to avoid their origins because they don't want to go through that because it is too soon to explain according to some sources. But hey we have the internet so that we could research it's actual history instead of this. Everyone please stop causing any politics against this video or stop being so overly toxic and biased. This is just a one take.

WTF( World Taekwondo Federation) has claimed that TKD is Korean traditional martial art which holds about 2000years of history. But the thing is TKd is korean modern day martial art which it's rooted under Karate, where the history is about 60years. TKD was created back in late 1940's by many Korean Karate Masters. This is why TKD and Karate have so many similarities. If you need more explanation leave feed back.

What I used was an intellectual insult, not racist, and I know taegwondo came from karate since I read a lot of sites on the history.

Some of taekwondo and karate techniques is from sikaran martial arts.

A true martial artist doesn't disparage other styles of the martial arts. Keyboard warriors have no honor.

Yeah, i know, 'What the f**k', cracks me up too. BTW quite a lot of 'dingies' on this page innit? Is education optional these days?

Myth. Go look at the ITF hyungs then Look up Taekkyon forms/hyungs and tell me what techniques made it into ITF TKD.......They even kick differently.

you're the one said taekkyon copied chinese Ma. then you give a reference which martial art that had been copied? No reference, just blabbing

lessen one day one day i will be k-1 champ show u baster how tkd is great

from a 2nd dan wtf blackbelt...tkd is not old its from shotokan karate but koreans are very proud too proud so they made changes bad changes made the art more of a show with kicks just like they changed the gi to a v-neck but if you see old videos it shows the gi same as karate most tkd kicks are bs for street use but some are good like back kicks side kicks axe kicks good thing about tkd is that it helps you be fast with kicks so if you add thai kicks and boxing it can be a really good art

funniest joke ever. thumb up!

despite the false history, this video wasnt even about TKD...it was about the WTF

@zzang86 There's nothing wrong with having 65years of history. It doesn't have to be a ancient/traditional to be a good martial art. TKD should take a pride over how fast it have spread over the world and distinct itself from it from other types of martial art. TKD doesn't have anything got to do with Takkyeon. It's mere copy of Karate. NOW,TKD is totally something else.

not true. Founder general choi hong hee didn't know anything about Taekyon.

that's y uer north style itf soo still brothers but i think not respecting us mean one thing wtf better uer jealous itf jealous because we are in Olympics i think wtf great style u cant do half we can do

@ZenPhilosopher123 That's because there is no history.

Not true. Even though there are millions of MA in China, I can't think of one that has any similarities with Taekkyon.

Traditional MA of Korea = Copy-do (Taekwondo, Tang soo do, Hapkido, Kumdo, etc.)

The WTF are idiots to dumb down the sparring matches and to falsify the craft's history as if it was around for more two thousand years. Worst of all, they had the nerve to exclude Choi Hong Heui-dojunim.

I study Taekkyon in Daegu, South Korea with the KTA. Look up Taekkyon Forms and compare them to the ITF/WTF forms.......Stances,Movement,Blocks,Sweeps,Throws and strikes are all done differently and with dance like quality...........TKD did not come from us, look up Taekkyon and hear the last taekkyon master DONG SUK KI explain the BS that TKD claims.......We look nothing a like other then being kicking based.

WHAT IS UER BELT WEIGHT YELLOW ,GREEN I BET NEVER FINISH IN ITF TEAKWONNDO EVEN IF TELL ME UER BLACK BELT UER BIG LAIR .............AND IF U ARE TELLINING UER TRUTH UER MASTER FAIL TO TEACH WELL

@theblacktigertkd360 Why should I be jealous for the WTF to be in the Olympics? They only thing they do is give taekwondo a bad name since they don't use punches and low kicks, just like in karate and the ITF. Seriously, you really need to type in better English since I don't know what you're trying to say.

the REAL traditional MA of Korea is COPYING, not taekkyon

"2000 years old martial art" becomes an Olympic sport? Wow, what a downgrade. I have many friends who are TKD blackbelt. Interestingly, when being asked to perform defense against hook punch, elbow and knee strikes and foot stomps, they are unable to defend. Of course, in its 2000 years old of history TKD has never encounter any of the attacks I metioned above because of...... they did not generate points.

wow this is truly the most embarrassing promotion video I've ever seen. they admitted fabricating the history of Taekwondo, but here they are, still lying about it.

taekkyon is a fantasy MA it was just a copy of Chinese MA

when WTF will stop lying about taekwondo. No more fabrication. As korean myself, its really embarrassing.

WTF is Ballet dance.ITF is the real Taekwon-Do.

U shouldn't use such racist words, mate Anyway, TKD ORIGINATES FROM KARATE Even the founder admit it

Taekwondo did NOT origionate from karate! It originated from Korean independents! South Korea has WTF and north has ITF, get your facts right before posting.

WTF

ITF better

fake

Hahahahaha!!! KOREAN FANTASY!!!! LOL You guys really like fabricated history, looks like

くだらん

I quit watching this propaganda at 0:50 does tkd have a history of over 2000 yrs even though it was derived from karate in "1950s" ? lol bullshit

krav maga is better
