Kukkiwon is the global headquarters of Taekwondo and is located in the heart of Gangnam, Seoul. It officially certifies Taekwondo skills, evaluates practitioners worldwide, and awards dan ranks. It is a highly respected institution. Kukkiwon is also popular among foreign tourists and is considered a symbolic place, often called the 'Mecca of Taekwondo'.

Yes, that's right! In Taekwondo, skills are represented by belts starting from white, then yellow, blue, red, and black. Before receiving a black belt, one often goes through a stage called "Poom".

To obtain a Dan rank, one must pass Poomsae, sparring (Kyorugi), and breaking (Gyeokpa). This is a core part of Taekwondo training, requiring not only physical ability but also mental strength and patience.

'Poom' in Taekwondo is a stage awarded to practitioners under 15 years old before they reach the black belt, while those 15 and over receive a 'Dan'. Poom is a system designed to give a sense of accomplishment and motivation to young practitioners.

Poomsae is training where a person performs fixed movements alone in order. The movements must be executed beautifully and precisely, like a dance. Since it's practiced alone, mental concentration is very important.

Taekwondo is an official Olympic event, and many countries win gold medals evenly. This proves that Taekwondo has established itself as a global sport. Although Korea is the homeland of Taekwondo, medals are not concentrated in one particular country, and athletes from various nations compete fairly to test their skills.

If I learn Taekwondo, do I only do Poomsae? Or is there other training?

Good question! Taekwondo training is broadly divided into Poomsae and Kyorugi. Kyorugi is sparring where you wear protective gear and use techniques against an opponent.

These two training methods require different skills and abilities, and practitioners must master both to truly develop Taekwondo proficiency.
