This paper deals with the origin and its progress of Teakwon-do in Korea afer World War2. The Teakwon-do was initiated by some Korean who had learned Karate in Japan and came back to Korea during the Japan-Korea annexation days. Teakwon-do was initially introduced to the world during Vietnam War by the Korean troops. Thereafter many Teakwon-do instructors have made their vigorous efforts to export skills and techniques of Teakwon-do to the abroad. As a result, the Teakwon-do became one of the most popular sports not only in Korea but also other countries of the world.On the other hand, Teakwon-do became so quickly popular among people in Korea and in other countries of the world, the lack of theoretical foundation of Teakwon-do starts to create many serious problems. Firstly, the duplication of the different skill/techniques of Teakwon-do in performance of athletic competition and self-protection. Secondly, due to the lack of theoretical foundations, Teakwon-do will face so much controversies for its athletic value. Thirdly, the potential conflicts between this fairly new Teakwon-do with the other old traditional Korean martial arts, Teakkyeon.It is considered, therefor, that the above mentioned problems should be resolved by the people who are committed themselves to the development of Teakwon-do
