In Korean, Tae means "to kick or crush the foot", Kwon means "fist" and Do means "the way or the art". So, taekwondo
can be interpreted freely to be "martial arts that utilize hands and feet as a weapon to conquer his opponent". Nowadays,
the popularity of Taekwondo has caused this art to flourish in many forms. Like many martial arts, Taekwondo is a
composite of fighting, martial, sport, sports, entertainment, and philosophy techniques.
Historically, Taekwon-do flourished in 37 A.D. during theGoryo 's Koo Dynasty in Korea. At that time the community
called it by a different name, namely Subak, Taekkyon, Taeyon. At that time, Tae Kwon-do was frequently used as a
ritual show performed by the Koreans, and Tae Kwon-do himself martial arts became a mainstay of the Knights in the
ancient Chosun dynasty, Shila Kingdom, and Koryo dynasty during His glory.
When Korea gained its independence in 1945, Korean society sought to develop Taekwon-do which was a traditional
Korean martial art. Thus, Taekwon-do can grow rapidly throughout the world until now it has been contested in the
largest 4-year event, the Olympics.
In 1973 precisely on the 28th of May, a Wtf (World Taekwondo Federation) organisation was formed in Kukkiwon,
South Korea. At that time, Kim Un Yong was appointed as the organization's first president. Today, WTF has more than
186 countries in the world.
In Indonesia, Tae Kwon-Do the new WTF flow flourished around the year 1975. Taekwon-Do this stream was first
performed by Mauritsz Dominggus in 1972 at Tanjung Priok, North Jakarta. At that time, Taekwondo has not
developed because of Karate Martial first present in Indonesia such as the genre of karate Shindoka which is popularized
by Simon Kaihena – Jopi Yan Rainong – Hady Sugianto – William Giritz – Sukanda – Hasan Johan – Hendry Sanuri
(ALM) – Drs. Rosid M. Siregar (ALM) – Mujiman (ALM) and Harry Tomotala (College of Karate PERKINO). They
joined the Mauritsz Dominggus who came from Ambon who was the holder of the black-belt Taekwondo who studied
in the Netherlands and at the time they formed a college named Kataedo. The combined words of Karate and Tae Kwon-
do.
On 15 July 1974 at the suggestion of Prof. Kim Ki Ha (Chairman of the Korea Association in Indonesia), KATAEDO
changed its name to Institut Tae Kwon-Do Indonesia (INTIDO). At that time Prof. Kim Ki Ha as INTIDO Advisor and
on the advice of the INTIDO was reunited with the Ambassador of South Korea and he was sent to South Korea
following the WTF General Assembly on 27 August 1975. At that time, Prof. Kim Ki Ha championed INTIDO to be
accepted as a member of WTF with the requirements so that INTIDO was changed to the Indonesian Taekwondo
Federation (FTI) and the Marshal Muda (TNI) Sugiri as the general chairman.
On 17 June 1976 the official FTI became a member of WTF signed by WTF President Kim Un Yong. In 1976 Indonesia
brought the trainer from South Korea in the framework of the Quality Improvement Program and performance of Tae
Kwon-do Indonesia named Kim yeong Tae and V. Former heavyweight world champion.
Along with its development, there are two major organizations that shelter Taekwondo in Indonesia namely FTI
(Federation of Taekwondo Indonesia) led by Marshal Muda Sugiri and PTI (Persatuan Taekwondo Indonesia) headed
by Leo Lapulisa.
FTI and PTI on 28 March 1981 held a meeting titled National Consultative I for the advancement of Tae Kwon-do
Indonesia. The Munas I gave birth to a mutual agreement to unite the two organizations into a Taekwondo organization
that we now know with the name Pbti (general manager of Taekwondo Indonesia) recognized BY wtf and KONI,
As general chairman of Mr. Sarwo Edhie Wibowo with direct protection from the chairman KONI Pusat Mr. Surono.
Taekwondo was first paired at the Olympics in 1992, in Barcelona, Spain. However, it was still exhibitions. Later in the
next Olympics in 1996 in Atlanta, Taekwondo began to be officially contested. At the Barcelona Olympics 1992, when
Taekwondo was still played as a sports exhibition, Indonesia also lowered its boss and achieved a very proud
achievement, which is 3 silver and 1 bronze.
Up to now taekwondo in Indonesia continues to grow and has also been cases at various national events such as PON
