Taekwondo is a traditional Korean martial art, which means "the way of kicking and punching". The origin of the art of Taekkyon (“foot-hand”) dates back to Korea's Three-Kingdom era (c.50 BC).
The evolution of taekwondo has made today’s version of the sport a lower limb kicking ballet. Although practitioners are allowed to use their fists to beat the competitor, attacks are mainly by kicking, taekwondo’s trademark.
It was only in the 20th. C, however, that this format became the most popular martial art in Korea. |

The next edition of the Olympic Games will feature three weight categories: 48kg to 51kg, 57kg to 60kg, and 69kg to 75kg. Countries such as China, Ireland and Canada are the gold medal favourites. Their athletes have reached the top of the podium in the three categories, respectively, in the latest World Championship in 2010. |

Cave pictures dating back to the year 3000 BC attest it: with the exception of athletics, wrestling is recognised as the oldest competitive sport in the history of humankind. Running and fighting are part of human nature. No wonder they were included in the Olympic Movement at the inception of the Ancient Olympics.
Wrestling, whose disciplines are Free Wrestling and Greco-Roman, has been part of the Games since its first edition at Athens 1896 – with the exception of Paris 1900. |

It is less than a third of the metropolitan area population of Tokyo, capital of Japan, home of Judo and the major power of the sport. Counting men and women, Cuban judokas are no more than 3,000. In the last edition of the Olympic Games, in Beijing 2008, from the seven weight categories, Cuban female athletes climbed the podium in four categories. Japonese female athletes climbed in five.
