국가대표태권도시범단 명칭에 대한 정체성 연구

Abstract

This research started and was concluded from the result of analyzing the phenomenon that three different Korean Taekwondo demonstration teams using the same title called "National Representative" in both inside and outside of the country which confuses the public. The Taekwondo demonstration team of World Taekwondo Headquarters(Kukkiwon), the center of world Taekwondo studio, had numerous domestic and international performances with Korean Taekwondo Association when using the title "National Representative". However, Korean Taekwondo Association founded its own demonstration team in 2008, so the title that World Taekwondo Headquarters have been used should be corrected to "Gukkiwon demonstration team". World Taekwondo Federation is the organization representing 202 member countries, managing whole Taekwondo competitions of each continent, and holding international Taekwondo contests. Besides, the demonstration team of the organization is Taekwondo demonstration team of World Federation that pursue traditional Taekwondo and tries to adopt martial arts in order to demonstrate better performances. The demonstration team of Korean Taekwondo Association was founded in 2008 due to Taekwondo demonstrations. The team not only performs the traditional Taekwondo but tries to harmonize Taekwondo with performing art to make new demonstration culture rooted in the world, informing the excellence of Kukki Taekwondo and Korean culture and challenging continuously for broadening the cultural domain. For this reason, Korean Taekwondo Association is the only organization that can use the title " National Representative". Korean Taekwondo Association is the organization that selects and nurtures national representatives for the athletes representing Korea, so the Taekwondo demonstration team of Korea Taekwondo Association should be termed "National Representative".
