Now what really happened?

The history of Taekwondo in general is greatly debated. Here is what is greatly accepted in many communties. Taekwondo as a whole was creted in the 1950's made from Tae-kyon an acient korean "game" or "art" and Japanese Karate from when the korean soldiers learnt it during the war. A *group* of these soldiers came back to Korea and decided to put all of these aspects together and create "Taekwondo" A few of these original "masters" started arguing over aspects of the new art and decided to split apart and create their own *style* of Taekwondo Known as WTF and ITF, Master Rhee did not agree with all the politics and decided to split on his own, He created Rhee Taekwondo,
Rhee Taekwondo is only found in Australia and New Zealand.
