Pyongyang, March 1 (KCNA) -- The number of degree-holders of Taekwon-Do, traditional martial arts of Korea, has grown among amateurs in the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, reaching tens of thousands at present. At the 18th Paektusan Prize Sports Contest among Officials of National Institutions held in Pyongyang some time ago, many participants in the Taekwon-Do event, including those from the Overseas Construction Guidance Bureau, demonstrated their good skills. Popularization of Taekwon-Do has taken on a higher level in the country since Juche 94 (2005). Tens of rounds of Taekwon-Do courses were organized and a large number of people applied for the examinations to be qualified for the degree. They are now playing a key role in popularizing Taekwon-Do in their residential areas. Health-promoting practice of Taekwon-Do has been also encouraged in the country, along with practice for elders. |
