Resumo

Apesar da sua enorme influência no taekwondo, o General Choi Hong Hi foi durante muito tempo uma figura controversa na República da Coreia (ROK; Coreia do Sul). A “Conference for the 100^th Anniversary of Choi Hong Hi: Taekwon-Do and Life; How to View Choi Hong Hi” celebrou-se no passado dia 28 de novembro de 2018, na Korea National Sport University. O presente relatório analisa esta conferência, que teve como objetivo difundir os trabalhos dos palestrantes a uma audiência mais ampla e estabelecer novas linhas de debate académico sobre o taekwondo da Federação Internacional de Taekwondo (ITF). Esta conferência permitiu também apresentar alguns problemas existentes na literatura sobre o taekwondo;, ou seja, que a literatura da ITF é bastante ofuscada pela pesquisa sobre sua contraparte olímpica. Por outro lado, parece que o único órgão de governo do taekwondo da ROK que está interessado em restabelecer o legado do General Choi Hong Hi é a Fundação para a Promoção do Taekwondo. Este tema era tabu há algumas décadas, mas o “clima” político existente no país tem vindo a mudar e o legado do General está ressurgindo lentamente.
