Lopez Family
The Lopez family is not just people who compete for just
medal but also competes for their family. This family shows the passion of Tae
Kwon Do that you could have or even have but not know it. The Lopez family consist
of 4 of the world’s top martial artists today and I’m pretty sure until they
stop competing or training there family legacy fire will still be burning strong.
You have the coach and eldest brother Jean Lopez and then come the 3 trainees
and Olympic medalists Steven Lopez, Diana Lopez and the youngest Mark Lopez. As
you can see this sport is not only for one person for protection it is also a
way for a family to bond.
Here a video of the Lopez Family. I hope you can see what
great character and strength as a family they have all together.

History
This Post is about
the history and founder of the martial art tae kwon do.
General Choi
Hong Hi was born on November 9th, 1918, in the Hwa Dae Myong Chun District of
Korea. At the age of twelve he began to study Taek Kyon (this was the name of
tae kwon do before it was changed), an ancient Korean method of fighting with
the feet. He later went to do studies in japan and while he was there, he met a
Karate teacher who helped him earn his first degree Black Belt in less than two
years. He then intensified his training, striving to earn his second degree.
Around the same time he started teaching.
Conscripted into the Japanese
army during World War II, he was posted to Pyongyang where he was imprisoned.
Wanting to maintain his good physical and mental health during his
imprisonment, he practiced karate, alone at first, then by teaching it to the
staff of the prison and the other prisoners.
Becoming an officer in the new
Korean Army after the end of the war, he continued to teach his martial art to
his soldiers as well as to American soldiers serving in Korea.
His beliefs and his vision of a
different approach to teaching martial arts led General Choi to combine
elements of Taek Kyon and Karate techniques to develop a modern martial art. He
called it Tae Kwon Do, which means "the way of the feet and the hands",
and this name was officially adopted on April 11th, 1955.
Tae Kwon Do
Definition of TaeKwonDo
"Tae" means "foot" or "to strike with the feet". "Kwon" means "hand", or "to strike with the hand". "Do" means discipline, art, or way. Hence TaeKwonDo (foot-hand-way) means literally "the art of the feet and the hands" or "the art of kicking and punching". Different schools and/or styles may impose different variations on the formal definition however. For example, some styles add the words "self defense" to the literal definition and/or throw in some form of the phrase "physical and mental training".
Tae Kwon Do is more than just a sport to me it’s been a part
of my life from the very very very young
age of “set” that is the Korean word for saying 3. I was 3 years old when tae
kwon do was introduced into my life. I have invested 20 years into this sport
and I’m still continuing the practice of this sport (I’m currently holding a
Second Degree Black Belt). It’s funny the reason my parents signed me up for
tea kwon do was to keep me occupied and to learn discipline as a child because
I was a very hyper active child, but as I grew older the sport became more
interesting to me. As I grew in the sport I was very interested in to other
martial arts, but the biggest influence besides my parents and family was by
far the greatest ever martial artist and creator of his own style of martial
art “Jeet Kune Do”, Bruce Lee.
