who knows which korea tae kwon do originated from?

Question

did it originate from north or south

Answer 1

"The oldest ancestor of taekwondo is an amalgamation of unarmed combat styles developed by three rival kingdoms of Goguryeo, Silla and Baekje" - www.wikipedia.org

However, it was South Korean General Choi who created the system we currently think of as TaeKwonDo, just after the Korean war. Therefore, TKD was originated in S Korea

Answer 2

If you wanted to be true to the question, Korean Taekwondo originated from the south west..... JAPAN! Korea likes to think that it made its style but its a bastardization of Japanese Karate. The current "FORM" that you see split with Gen Cho. So there are three places that the tkd that you know of originated today.... North Korea, South Korea and belive it or not... Canada.
