Title: The Origin and Inheritance of Taekwondo.
Taekwondo, a martial art sport that combines strength, speed and skill, is a traditional sport that originated on the Korean Peninsula. Not only is it an important part of Korean culture, but it is also a self-defense skill and fitness method that is widely spread around the world. Taekwondo has a long history, and its development has undergone a transformation from ancient times to modern times, becoming one of the internationally recognized competitive sports.
At the time of the origin of Taekwondo, it is not difficult to find that its roots can be traced back to the Three Kingdoms period of Joseon, when the martial art was called "Taekwondo" and was a technique used in combat and self-defense. Over time, Taekwondo has gradually absorbed the essence of martial arts from other countries, such as Chinese martial arts and Japanese karate, forming a unique technical system and theoretical foundation.
The core of taekwondo lies in the "Tao", which emphasizes not only a martial arts skill, but also a spiritual cultivation and moral norms. The etiquette, patience, self-control, and respect in taekwondo training embody the profound connotations of Eastern philosophy. These principles not only guide taekwondo athletes' behavior on the field, but also affect their daily lives and personality formation.

In 1973, the World Taekwondo Federation was founded, marking the official establishment of taekwondo as an international competitive sport. Since then, taekwondo has become an official Olympic sport for the first time at the 1988 Seoul Olympic Games, a historic moment that has greatly contributed to the popularity and development of taekwondo around the world.

Athletes need to be resilient and train hard day in and day out to perform at a high level in competition. This pursuit of excellence and unremitting efforts is also one of the reasons why Taekwondo is so respected.
