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]
