    Ara, I believe TKD was formed when a number of different Kwans (schools) got together and unified under one name, Taekwondo. Gen. Choi is said to have come up with the name, but no one man can claim to be the origin of TKD.

    As I understand it, Gen. Choi was unhappy with the emphasis on sport in TKD and aftermoving to North Korea began the ITF using his vision for the way TKD should go.

    If my information is incorrect, I apologise. But I do know TKD is the result of thousands of years of evolution, and cannot be traced back to one man.
