Why is tae kwon do so important to Korea?

Answer 1

Taekwondo can be important for so many reasons! Self Defense is one of the main reasons people take Taekwondo. I love Taekwondo because its pure fun! It can help your memory and stamina. It also helps kids with ADHD calm down a bit. This question is a question that requires alot of opinions.

Answer 2

Not speaking of any country in particular, Taekwondo contributes positively to any country's society. Keep in mind that I am specifically addressing the authentic teachings of Korean Taekwondo which includes the tenets, and an ethical and moral code of conduct. Proper instruction instills good character traits such as honesty and integrity that guide students of Taekwondo away from the temptation of criminal behavior, which helps keep crime rates down.

Any country would benefit from citizens who are physically fit, and healthy, lowering the need for unnecessary use of medical insurance and health care costs. Taekwondo students are also trained to be persistent, and strive to reach goals such as achieving a higher education. Taekwondo students and instructors are role models for other people, thus the beneficial attributes spread throughout the population of those who are not even in the Martial Art, but are influenced by its positive message.

Another important aspect of Taekwondo to a country is the stimulation to the economy through successful schools, and events such as local tournaments and national championships. The amount of money pumped into an economy from just one event can range in the millions of dollars (or whatever local currency used).
