I.R. Iran is Hosting 22nd World Military Taekwondo Championships Tehran, August 2014 Learning Martial Arts is very exciting for interested people though it is very necessary for Armed Forces since they apply martial skills for maintaining security in the society. Like other countries, Iranian Armed Forces are trained in Martial Arts. Even the traditional and ancient sport of Iran which goes back to thousand years ago is a kind of Martial Art. Learning Martial Arts became obligatory for Iranian Armed Forces from 1960s. In 1970, the first Taekwondo training courses were held under the supervision of Physical Education of Iran Army for 75 officers and high ranked officials. Now, Iranian Armed Forces have to practice Martial Arts several hours a day besides other exercises. Civilians also learnt Taekwondo for the first time by the Military in Iran and today after the passage of 50 years since taekwondo entered Iran, Iran s Taekwondo has changed to one of the greatest powers in the World due to the efficient investment and management in the past 30 years. Winning the world and regional standings during the last 16 years in several international events, standing on the first place in CISM for two times and winning the second place of CISM for two times proves this claim. Tehran metropolis is honored to host 22nd World Military Taekwondo Championships. Having hosted this event in 1992 and 1995, this is the third time we are hosting CISM and we will do our best to host the most memorable event taking advantage of our past experiences.
