Talk:History of martial arts

The idea of article structure is to treat the period pre-500 BC under "early history" (because there of the sparseness of sources), and the post-1800 period under "modern history" (because of amalgamation of various traditions). The period of roughly 500 BC to AD 1800 is then left to the regional sections (Europe, East Asia, India, Near East). dab (𒁳) 17:10, 25 February 2008 (UTC)

Mention Tae Kwon Do

Due to its massive popularity today, it seems like a good idea to make a quick reference to Taekwondo being the result of the Subak and Taekkyon's eventual evolution in the Korea section.

The original Taekwondo masters only remembered Taekkyeon from their early childhoods. Non of them Studied with Song Duk Ki. When Taekkyeon resurfaced, Taekwondo players borrowed some techniques from watching Songs demonstrations. Taekwondo is a different modern system, so it is not based on Taekkyeon.Carverrock (talk) 04:45, 10 July 2012 (UTC)

That is true - perhaps some mention of Taekwondo could be made in the section of Modern history (1800 to present). Also I think a better job could be done in Modern history of East Asian martial arts with respect to Korea - right now it is lumped in with Japan.Peter Rehse (talk) 04:52, 10 July 2012 (UTC)

I didn't add the tags but not a bad idea. --Nate^t/_c 15:28, 21 August 2009 (UTC)

Keep Separate -It could very well argued that the birth of all martial arts came from China. I don't think very many people would like to go down this road just let the page stand on its own. Or run the risk of every "karate" guy/gal not wanting to trace their history to china. It combined the can of worms will be opened. IMHO. --Duchamps_comb MFA 16:48, 14 November 2009 (UTC)
