The Korean people established a tradition of developing the martial art culture while playing sports events with the main emphasis on military arts.

Taekwon-Do, created and developed with Pyongyang as a centre, has inherited and developed the traditional martial art movements such as Subak and Thaekgyon.

Taekwon-Do Hall in the DPRK, the largest of its kind in the world, was built several decades ago. It has everything needed for Taekwon-Do games and training.

Many international games were held at the hall to demonstrate the superiority of Taekwon-Do and realize the exchange among martial arts persons from different countries.

In the new century, the DPRK built the Taekwon-Do Holy House conducive to showing the origin and history of the development of Taekwon-Do and disseminating it widely.

The DPRK has a foundation for the widespread dissemination of Taekwon-Do.

A regular education system enabling people to learn Taekwon-Do from childhood and the Taekwon-Do dissemination system for the working people have been established in the country so that the zeal for generalizing Taekwon-Do is high in any region or place.

Taekwon-Do is popularized in many countries.

In many countries, Taekwon-Do associations for spreading the martial art have been formed and tens of millions of Taekwon-Do players are active.

The DPRK has developed and widely disseminated Taekwon-Do technique to demonstrate its might as a native country of Taekwon-Do.

Last year, DPRK's Taekwon-Do players won 64 gold medals and 31 cups and came first in the country standings at the 22nd Taekwon-Do World Championships.
