In 37 B.C., on the peninsula now known as Korea, the Kingdoms of BaekJae and Shilla had developed skills and techniques of the martial art TaeKyun,the predecessor of Tae Kwon Do.
The most outstanding contribution to the development of Tae Kwon Do came from an elite officer corps called“Hwa Rang Do,” a military and social organization for noble youth.
The Hwa Rang means “Flower of Youth,” the promise of the nation, and the hope of the future.
Tae Kwon Do is the result of the Hwa Rang sprit.
