Korea Taekwondo Association (한국 태권도 협회; 韓國 跆拳道 協會; KTA), originally the Korea Taekwondo Association,〔Park, S. H. (1993): About the author. In H. H. Choi: ''Taekwon-Do: The Korean art of self-defence'', 3rd ed. (Vol. 1, pp. 241–274). Mississauga: International Taekwon-Do Federation.〕 is the first taekwondo organisation. It was founded in 1959,〔〔Kang, W. S., & Lee, K. M. (1999): (The modern history of TaeKwonDo ) Seoul: Bokyung Moonhwasa (ISBN 89-358-0124-0). Retrieved on 6 January 2010.〕〔Green, T. A.

H. Choi, broke off from the KTA and formed the International Taekwon-Do Federation (ITF). The Kukkiwon and the World Taekwondo Federation (WTF) were created by the KTA in the early 1970s. The KTA sits under the Korea Sports Council,〔(Korea Taekwondo Association: Organization ) Retrieved on 23 July 2009.〕 is aligned with Kukkiwon, and is a Member National Association (MNA) of the WTF.〔(World Taekwondo Federation: Member National Association – Korea ) Retrieved on 23 July 2009.〕 Its goal is to promote the martial art taekwondo as a national sport within South Korea.〔(Korea Taekwondo Association: Goal & Function ) Retrieved on 23 July 2009.〕 ==History== The KTA's history has been marked by political difficulties. In 1959, H. H. Choi was the first President of the KTA and Byung Jik Ro (listed as "No" by Park, 1993) and Kae Byung Yun were the inaugural Vice-Presidents.〔 When H. H. Choi was appointed as South Korea's ambassador to Malaysia in 1962, Myung Shin Choi became the second President of the KTA.〔〔Hartman, R. (c. 2000): (History of Taekwondo: Korea Taekwondo Association ) Retrieved on 25 January 2010.〕 In the early 1960s, the KTA was renamed as the Korea Taesoodo Association, and then to the current form in 1965.〔Jagtiani, J. R. (2007): (History of taekkwondo: A Korean martial art in modern times ) ''The Seoul Times'', 2007. Retrieved on 23 July 2009.〕 During the 1960s, the KTA assembled the twelve original masters of taekwondo to promote taekwondo throughout the world. Choi headed a demonstration tour of 18 countries in 1965;〔Kim, P. S. (1965): "Korea dispatches Taekwon-Do (Taesoodo) mission." ''Black Belt'', 3(9):53.〕 this was one of many demonstration missions that eventually covered every continent.〔Park, Y. H., Park, Y. H., & Gerrard, J. (1989/1999): ''Tae Kwon Do: The ultimate reference guide to the world's most popular martial art'' (Updated edition, p. 5). New York: Checkmark Books (ISBN 0-8160-3839-2).〕 Choi again became President in 1965, but was forced to resign after a year, reportedly due to his unpopular authoritarian leadership style.〔 He went on to establish the International Taekwon-Do Federation (ITF) the following year. B. J. Ro of the Song Moo Kwan, who had been one of the KTA's inaugural Vice-Presidents, became the fourth President.〔 In 1967, Yong Chae Kim of the Kang Duk Kwan became the fifth President of the KTA.〔〔Shaw, S. (1989/2004): (Taekwondo history ) Retrieved on 7 January 2010.〕 That same year, the KTA created new black belt forms, including Koryo, Keumgang, Taebaek, Pyongwon, Shipjin, Jittae, Cheongkwon, Hansoo, and Ilyo.〔McLain, R. (2009): (Master Yoon Byung-in's legacy: The Changmoo-Kwan and Kangduk-Won ) ''Totally Tae Kwon Do'', 5:32–40.〕 On 29 January 1971, Un Yong Kim became the sixth President of the KTA,〔 and continued in the position in 1973.〔Anonymous (1973): "Black Belt Times: New Korea Taekwondo center." ''Black Belt'', 11(5):12.〕 The KTA's leadership would remain stable for the next 20 years or so. In 1989, Chong Soo Hong from the Moo Duk Kwan was appointed Vice-President of the KTA.〔Chun, R. (1975/2003): ''Beginning Moo Duk Kwan Tae Kwon Do: Korean art of self-defense'' (Vol. 1), 27th printing (2003), p. 13. Santa Clarita, CA: Ohara (ISBN 0-89750-015-6).〕 The early 2000s were a time of trouble for the KTA leadership. One source states that Un Yong Kim resigned from the KTA presidency in 2001,〔(Ko Mu Do Kwan: Taekwondo ) Retrieved on 26 January 2010.〕 while other sources state that in 1997, Pil Gon Rhee was already in place as President of the KTA.〔(Hong's USA Taekwondo, Habgido, Gumdo, Inc.: Commendations, citations, certificates & citizenship awards ) Retrieved on 7 January 2010.〕〔(Grandmaster Yong Chin Pak: Plaques ) Retrieved on 7 January 2010.〕 In any case, Kim presided over the organisation for around 20 years. In March 2002, Cheon Seo Koo was elected President of the KTA,〔(Foreign taekwondo officials call for unity in domestic community ) (9 April 2002). Retrieved on 18 January 2010.〕 and apparently held that position until at least 2004,〔Macintyre, D. (2004): (Fighting dirty ) ''TIME'' (8 March 2004).
