Abstract

This study aims at providing the basic materials to establish the history of Taekwondo centering around Jeonnam and Gwangju regions.

It is regrettable that the local history of Taekowndo which has the same history, was often influenced by each history, created a new tradition and made an independent culture was neglected. As there are no materials of the history of Taekwondo by Jeonnam․Gwangju Taekwondo Association and no concrete data of it, it is very urgent to ensure basic and professional materials necessary for establishing the history of Taekwondo. This study used witness from seniors who practiced and distributed Taekwondo in the initial stage as oral materials and was supported by the data from Korea Taekwondo Association, Jeonnam Taekwondo Association and Gwangju Taekwondo Association.
