When was kicking created in Tae Kwon Do?
The kicking utilized in Taekwondo was an ancient form of fighting in use among the early Korean people some time during the 1st Century BC to the 1st Century AD. This integral part of Korean culture and history had persevered until the early 19th Century when Korea came under Japanese colonial rule and was annexed by Japan. There were many Korean people who had knowledge of their native kicking techniques, but only one system of a structured curriculum is known to have survived the occupation during World War II. The several Korean men who were permitted to study any Martial Art openly during the Japanese occupation had some knowledge of Tae Kkyeon (kicking method), and also attended either Chinese Martial Art schools in China, hand fighting in Okinawa, and such systems of Judo, Aikido, and Karate. In 1944, Professor Won-Kuk Lee opened the first Korean run school of Martial Art which he called the Chung Do Kwan. His blend of Kicking and punching was passed on to several Black Belt students who later helped to unify Korea's Martial Art, and place the traditional Kicking at the forefront as the primary weapon of self defense, making Taekwondo a unique system of balance between striking, throwing and grappling that focused on the native Korean Kicking. The kicking skills had been around in Korea for centuries, but the name Taekwondo was first used in 1955, and the Korea Taekwondo Association (KTA) unified the new art in the first national organization in 1961. Since that time, the methods and advanced skills of kicking has been growing and developing with research, training, and the challenging of top athletes to focus on kicks for Taekwondo tournaments, World Championships, and Olympic Games.
What country gave us the word judo?
The word "judo" is a Japanese word that means "the gentle way," so called because it does not rely on punching and kicking so much as throws and using your opponent's weight and strength against him or her. (For some reason it is also often NOT considered a martial art, like Karate, Tae Kwon Do or Kung Fu, but a sport.)

Did Tae Kwon Do originate from Tang Soo Do?
Tang Soo do was the Korean version meaning "the way of Chinese hand" and was the name used by Won Kuk Lee to describe what he taught at the first official Korean Martial Art school in 1944 called the Chung Do Kwan. The name Tang soo Do was later used by one of the Kwans that did not merge to form the art of Taekwondo. Modern Taekwondo was developed by combining the instructions taught at various Kwan (schools) with a base tactic of kicking that was borrowed from the native Korean Tae kkyeon (aka: "tae kyon" - the "kicking method"). There were also influences from Chinese and Japanese sources in the early Taekwondo instruction, but Taekwondo has evolved to reflect a primarily unique Korean Martial Art. Taekwondo was created in Korea. It's Korean martial art. Not Japanese. There were influences from: 1) Subak (ancient Korean hand strikes and grappling) 2) Tae kkyeon ( Korean Kicking method) 3) Hwarangdo ( Social warrior training of youth of Korean nobility) 4) Tang Soo Do ( Chinese hand fighting mixed with native Korean methods) 5) Yudo (Korean version of Japanese Judo learned during Japanese occupation) 6) Hapkido (Korean version of Aikijutsu similar to Aikido with mixture of kicks) 7) Shotokan Karate (taught to a few Kwan founders by Gichen Funakoshi) 8) Taekwondo ( Korean "way of the hand and foot" named on April 11, 1955)

What taekwondo made of?
"Tae" is the Korean word meaning to "stomp" or "smash with the foot." "Kwon" is the Korean word meaning "smash with the hand" "Do" is Asian concept based on the Chinese "Tao" which is a philosophy of "ideal action." It can be translated as the "way," "art," and "path." Therefore, the modern term Taekwondo is literally translated as "the way of the hand and the foot," however the art itself is much more than just fighting with hands and feet. Taekwondo is a Martial Art which is taught as a way of life. It is based on more than 2,000 years of Korean culture, philosophy, traditions, and military combat training. The core concepts and tenets come from the Korean youth group called the Hwarang Knights. The kicking techniques are the primary weapon, a concept revived from the older Korean system of Tae Kkyeon (kicking method). Korean Subak and Chinese Tangsudo were drawn upon for grappling and hand strikes. Japanese Shotokan Karate-do influenced the Korean art with the practice of Kata, which the Koreans borrowed, modified, and redesigned several times to create Poomsae (forms practice) suitable to enhance the unique techniques, and tactics of Taekwondo. Taekwondo is equally balanced between mind, body, and spirit, and provides education and training in physical self defense as well as character building, and moral and ethical code of conduct through the observance of Taekwondo Tenets.

Is Korean deon a martial art?
There is no established Korean Martial Art called "deon." The closest term I can find to this spelling of "deon" in Korean is 던져 (deon Jye) which means "throw" or 던지기 (deon ji gi) which means "to throw." Therefore, itmight be a technique, and not a Martial Art. I am not aware of any other such term in Korean by this spelling (perhaps an alternate English spelling would render a different Korean term).
Is Manga a Korean art?
Manga is referred to Japanese comics or print cartoons and is considered by many to be an art form. However, Korea does have an art style which resembles the art of Manga which is called Manhwa. Basically, Manga isn't a Korean art; it's a Japanese art. Korea has something close and similar to Manga called Manhwa.
Is tae kwon do karate style?
No, Taekwondo is not Japanese. Taekwondo was developed in Korea, by Koreans, and its curriculum consists mostly of Korean culture, philosophy, and fighting tactics derived from native Korean Martial Art systems of subak, tae Kkyeon, and the code of the Hwarang Knights. Taekwondo was officially named on April 11, 1955 by Korean Martial Artists who combined their native Korean methods with the influences of Chinese hand fighting, and Japanese systems of Judo, Aikido, and Shotokan Karate. As Taekwondo's curriculum became solidified during the 1960's and 70's, most of the Japanese influences were removed, and the modern tactics of Kicking as the primary weapon took over, and shaped the art. The grading system of belts used in Taekwondo, and most Asian Martial Art systems was borrowed from Jigoro Kano's Judo, and a modified version remains. The concept of forms (Kata) did not exist in ancient Korean Martial Arts, and was introduced during the Japanese occupation during WWII. Many of the founders of the Korean Kwans who developed the modern curriculum of Taekwondo were also Black Belt graduates of Shotokan Karate, and adopted the use of forms as a training tool. Since the Shotokan Kata were designed to facilitate the teaching of Karate techniques and tactics, it became necessary to restructure the forms, and adapt them to coincide with Taekwondo's tactics. The forms have gone through several transitions, and are now labeled as either "tul," "hyung," or "Pumsae" (aka: Poomsae). There are similarities between all Asian Martial Art systems, as these neighboring countries have shared cultural and combative knowledge back and forth for centuries. Taekwondo is a unique system that was created in Korea, and has roots that go far back into Korea's history, but has been influenced in modern times by other sources.
