KTA - Korea Taekwondo Association
Taekwondo was a name submitted by ballot and selected on April 11, 1955 to represent a unification of Korean Martial Art Kwans (affiliated schools). The first original kwan was the Chung Do Kwan, founded in Seoul, South Korea, in 1944 by Grandmaster Won-Kuk Lee. The first and original Taekwondo organization was the Korea Taekwondo Association (KTA) founded in 1961 with the uniting of the major Kwans. This was the original Taekwondo and has given rise to the official authority of the Kukkiwon, World Taekwondo Headquarters in Seoul, South Korea.
The Kwan system was officially retired, yet Kwan affiliated organizations and federations still remain today with most official Kwan associations following the Kukkiwon curriculum, and others who do not. There are a large number of independent schools as well, but any legitimate school can trace their Taekwondo lineage through instructors, masters, and grandmasters back to one of the five original Kwan.
