Reporters...

What can you say? Only misses with 1550 years or so, and suggests that TKD is "similar to karate, kung fu, kendo, hapkido, jujitsu and judo". Similar in what respect?

Sure - fighting with a kendo shinai is similar to the grappling moves of judo, or the kicks and punches of karate. How about getting your statements at least close to straight?

Any article portraying the martial arts in a positive way is great to see, but it is also nice when you can read something that has at least a vague * reminiscence* to the facts!

Story:
Taekwondo (often spelled tae kwon do or Taekwon-do) is a form of martial arts, originating in Korea over 2,000 years ago. It is similar to karate, kung fu, kendo, hapkido, jujitsu and judo. Yet, the discipline has grown rapidly in the United States over the past 20 years as more people find that the Korean term "punch, kick, way of life" goes far beyond its English translation.
