Taekwondo in the Philippines (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taekwondo_in_the_Philippines)


Taekwondo was introduced to the Philippines through the efforts of Kim Bok Man and Young Man Park.


Young Man Park founded the Philippine Taekwondo Association which was eventually renamed to the Philippine Taekwondo Federation (PTF).

I know it's very popular there--I'm actually surprised they don't show a longer history than they do!
