Tae Kwon Do Times is a magazine devoted to the martial art of taekwondo, and is published in the United States of America. [1] While the title suggests that it focuses on taekwondo exclusively, the magazine also covers other Korean martial arts. [2] Tae Kwon Do Times has published articles by a wide range of authors, including He-Young Kimm, [3] Thomas Kurz, [4] [5] Scott Shaw, [6] and Mark Van Schuyver. [7]
Tae Kwon Do Times is a widely known publication within the international taekwondo community, appearing in several organizations' websites [a] and individuals' biographies. [b] Shaw lists it as one of five important taekwondo periodicals in his book, Taekwondo basics. [8] [c] Tae Kwon Do Times is also one of five named publications listed in Black Belt magazine's reader surveys in 1999, [9] [10] [11] [d] and one of ten key periodicals listed in Marc Tedeschi's book, Combattimento con le armi: Autodifesa armata e disarmata (The art of weapons: Armed and unarmed self-defense). [12] [e]
Tae Kwon Do Times was founded in 1980 by Chung Eun Kim (1941–2010), [13] a taekwondo master, and his wife, Soja Kim. [14] [15] The Kims retired from their involvement in the magazine in 2005. [14] Currently, Woo Jin Jung is the Publisher and Chief Executive Officer of the magazine. [16] Tae Kwon Do Times maintains correspondents both inside the USA, such as Jere Hilland, [17] and outside the USA, such as Joon No in Australia [18] and George Ashiru in Nigeria. [19] [20]
