Taekwondo has customarily been perceived as the national martial art but wasn't officially recognized by the law. The revision will pave the way for greater state support for the sport, officials said.
Korea is home to Kukkiwon, also known as the World Taekwondo Headquarters, and the World Taekwondo, the international taekwondo body that is recognized by the International Olympic Committee.(Yonhap)
