Taekwondo on Film

Despite martial arts movies being seemingly dominated by Chinese martial arts, Tae Kwon Do is actually one of the more popular martial arts employed in film. This has a lot to do with the impressive kicking techniques used. Tony Jaa of Ong-Bak fame utilises much of his Tae Kwon Do skills while appearing to use Muay Thai. Many members of the online stunt community practice Tae Kwon Do as well.

Possibly the most famous superkickers (bootmasters) of martial arts cinema (for example, Hwang Jang-Lee), are practitioners of Tae Kwon Do.
