Kukkiwon is the world headquarters for the sport of taekwondo, which originated in Korea and became an official Olympic event during the 2000 Sydney Olympic Games. Constructed in 1972, Kukkiwon was built in order to spread taekwondo to the world and to enhance the mind and skills of the Korean people. The gymnasium, which accommodates 3,000 people, holds various national and international events. There are also training courses for foreigners as well as exhibition games for foreign guests.
Kukkiwon serves as the issuing body for taekwondo dan rank (black belt degree) promotion and certification. In addition, the Kukkiwon conducts research and instructional seminars and is home to the World Taekwondo Academy, which trains and certifies Taekwondo instructors through its leadership course. In 1998 93 non-Koreans, from 32 countries (including fewer than 20 Americans) were issued Graduation Certificates by the Academy at the first Foreigner Instructors Course. The curriculum for belt promotion is specified and certified by the Kukkiwon, including required and compulsory forms, sparring, and breaking techniques.
