Which countries Excel in Tae Kwon Do?

Answer 1

Many countries excel and do quite well in Taekwondo, both as a Martial Art and as a sport. In Korea, where Taekwondo originated, it is the national Martial Art and sport, so there is a great deal of pride among their people. Taekwondo is taught in universities in Korea as an educational course.

In the United States, many Korean Grandmasters of Taekwondo have been immigrating here since the 1960's. The U.S. has been the breeding ground for numerous Taekwondo organizations, some independent, and others remaining connected to the source of their original Kwan (family school) in Korea, and to the Kukkiwon (world headquarters) in Seoul. The Unites States has produced a number of Olympic Champions in the sport of Taekwondo.

Canada and the UK have extensive Taekwondo programs that are also quite successful. Just about every country in the world has been introduced to Taekwondo, and it is growing rapidly in each of them.
