The problem of weak identity of Taekwondo is rooted on the corruptness of major groups over 30 years. Of course, those groups are still corrupt, more corrupt than before.

In 1983 when I started teaching Taekwondo, I was very proud and excited about being a head of fighters. To be frank, I think I've become the more competent as an instructor because I had to have my students fight me as training partner. Despite economic hardships, I served many owners, teaching Taekwondo with sincerity and pleasure in my 20's, and I remember those days as distant but good memory. I think it is because the Taekwondo I learned and taught in those days was more like a 'true martial art'

It's been three years since major Taekwondo groups got stirred up and Taekwondo, globalized Korean pride, fell into a serious chaos; it is because of unestablished identity and corruptness inside Korea. Nevertheless, Korean Taekwondo is still drifting around without the confusion settled at all.

Seeds of corruptness were sown from the time when the name Taekwondo got established. During the long period between ex-president Lee and ex-president Park, Taekwondo was protected in Kukkiwon, the impregnable fortress. So, while they speeded up on globalizing Taekwondo, they created absurdity lasting until today; president and vice president of Kukkiwon were absolute dictators. What was worse, scholars distorted the Taekwondo history by saying that Taekwondo has originated from some martial art in Three-Dynasty Era, which was not tested.

The present Taekwondo history is completely different from the history I knew in 1983. If you scan and examine the Taekwondo history written on homepages of Korean prestigious college Taekwondo departments and that in the Kukkiwon hompage, you can recognize the change. It was only 3 years ago that people started talking about the late Choi Hong-hee, who used to be forgotten because of political reasons, when the internet became explosively popular among Koreans and Korean people had more freedom of speech.

ITF ex-president Choi Hong-hee, the center of Taekwondo history, passed away now, and people keep saying 'We can't go on this way. We must change.' However, 40 year old 'fake Taekwondo history' and corruptness are hard to fix. Taekwondo is still in the middle of chaos
