First Tae Kwon Do's rich history can be traced back to ancient Korea, where the art of Tae-Kyon evolved during the Silla Dynasty approximately 1300 years ago.
Originally practised by monks, it later became a means of defence for the kingdom of Silla. Through a strict moral code, known as Hwa Rang Do, the art was used to unify the three kingdoms of Silla, Koguryo, and Baekebae.
Despite setbacks during the Yi Dynasty and Japanese occupation, the practise of Tae-Kyon, now known as Taekwondo, was revived after Korea's liberation. The seed of Taekwondo was planted in the 60s, with South Australia being one of the first regions to embrace the art. Master Vernon Low and Chief Instructor John O'Brien have played significant roles in promoting Taekwondo in South Australia, bringing the vast array of benefits to thousands of practitioners.
