The first governing body for Taekwondo was the called the Korea Taekwondo Association (KTA) founded in 1961 through a unification of the main Kwans (affiliated schools) of Korean Martial Art. The KTA was the highest authority in Korea as a National governing body until 1971 when the Kukkiwon facility was built as the National Academy and world headquarters for Kukki-Taekwondo. The KTA has its office at the Kukkiwon, but the chain of command places the Kukkiwon officials in charge of Taekwondo world-wide.
