The present work discusses the relation of Taekwondo with modern sports. Historical, social and political elements involved in an eventual process of “sportivization” were identified. The option was to work with the theoretic referential of Pierre Bourdieu and Norbert Elias and also a semi- structured technique interview with the masters was used. Considerations: a) its evidences occurred to a social evolutionary process not planned, created the configuration in which Taekwondo placed its corporal, cultural and social framework. b) its diffusion as a sports sub- field offers the diplomatic and symbolical necessary values towards a diffusion of a national moral that confirms its entry to the world. c) its exposition led off to an imposing process of the corean nationality as a symbolic violence aspect.
