Abstract
Countries like South Korea have successfully nurtured the development of taekwondo from many years. The World Taekwondo Federation promotes and sanctions local, regional, national, and international tournaments throughout the world, both for sparring and forms. The WTF encourages the popularity of Taekwondo by allowing schools to market themselves to their local communities.
In the Olympic games, South Korea has accumulated gold medals in Taekwondo. In recent years, government has played an active part by encouraging athletes to strive to the highest level in order to win medals. In fact, the development of a sport system is a complex and dynamic process. Physicality, body language, freedom, connection with nature and other people, energy spreading etc., all these peculiarities are intrinsic in human nature, it is something that a kid is not taught in school, it simply belongs to him. These natural instincts evolve during a lifetime and most likely are best expressed when practicing sports.
As per our study we consider sport as one of the most democratic places in which every human being could be part of and truly believe in the importance of practicing it in any of its forms. Unfortunately, several times we tend to assign too little value to this discipline. Instead, we should encourage it and discover a way to embrace it in our routine.
Nowadays, the improvements within the field of artificial intelligence would be able to guarantee an even greater effect if correctly implemented. Thanks to this, it would be possible to capture a massive amount of data coming from the field to exploit in several ways. Eventually, this would mean that a great game like taekwondo wouldnt only be the result of a good coach and talented players, nonetheless also some advanced IT specialists would make the difference in generating impactful information for the players. Each sport should browse into available technologies to renovate and get on board new participants which could eventually foster the practice of the discipline
In addition to the worldwide growth and recognition of Taekwondo making it an excellent example of what an Olympic Sport should be and also the groundbreaking improvements made between past years there are other practical and organizational reasons Taekwondo included in the game.
This Research provides a record of the long, sometimes uneven but ultimately successful road the sport has traveled from being a demonstration Sport to Olympic Sport. Further, this research gives us a brief detail about the up-gradation the sport has gone through, growing its spectatorship to secure its position in the Olympics. Some key points of our research work are:
 Semi-structured and open-ended interviews were conducted with athletes, coaches, spectators via Skype, Telephones, and one on one interviews.
 The thematic analysis method was used, transcribing and analyzing the interviews.
 Similarities and differences were discussed comparing the results with the existing literature review.
