Olympic fever is once again in the air. Like every time, martial art lovers are looking forward eagerly for the Taekwondo event, which can be rightly termed the martial art highlight of Rio Olympics 2016. That Taekwondo is being considered a celebrated Olympic event this year has to be attributed to the sheer popularity it has acquired in the past few decades. This 2000-year-old Korean martial art had a spectacular journey into being a globally celebrated sport since 1950s. For a beginner who aspires to reach great heights in martial arts, Taekwondo is a desirable art to begin with and excel in.

The Taekwondo Journey: From Tradition to Glory
The birth of Taekwondo can be traced back to the cultural specificities of the Korea of 1st Century BC, which was a warrior society where physical might and combating skills were much valorized virtues. What emerged as a combat technique later gained philosophical strength through the influence of Buddhism and Confucianism. It refined itself as a martial art imbibing from rapidly shifting dynastic histories and later, Japanese occupation. The modern, refined form of Taekwondo was the result of the foundation of Korean Taekwondo Association in 1962. Taekwondo's first step toward global glory was the establishment of World Taekwondo Federation in 1973. The general martial art boom in the post-war era had brought to limelight the amazing potential of Taekwondo and it had embarked on a journey to win the hearts of learners in 206 countries. 

Taekwondo became an extremely popular martial art in USA parallel to this. In International Taekwondo Federation's Grand Master list, 16 out of the 26 grand masters are from the United States. That so many of international Taekwondo veterans have hailed from USA or have chosen to settle in the country indicates an alternate history: how USA has come to be the unofficial hub of Taekwondo at least since 1952. This also indicates how USA could ensure the presence of four athletes in the Rio Olympics in an event like Taekwondo which is Asian by heritage.
