Introduction

The Asian subcontinent has a rich tradition of martial arts, whether it’s Korea’s Taekwondo, Karate from Japan, Muay Thai from Thailand, or India’s own traditions of wrestling and regional variations such as Kalaripayatu or Lathi Khela. Martial arts as a sport today is pursued for its many benefits – the practice of a martial art helps in fitness, and mental wellness. It strengthens the mind-body connection and teaches sportsmanship and conflict-resolution.

Taekwondo has provided a rich cultural exchange between India and Korea from as early as 1975, and was featured at the National Games held at New Delhi in 1985. Today, taekwondo is among the most widely practiced martial arts in India, becoming an official Olympic sport in 2000.
