Brazilian Confederation of Taekwondo

Taekwondo arrived in Brazil in 1968. Three years later, the sport was recognized by the National Sports Council. In March of 1974, the National Department of Taekwondo was created to establish a control of the modality in the country.

On February 21, 1987 was born the Brazilian Taekwondo Association (ABT), which became the Brazilian Confederation of Taekwondo in December 1990. Membership to the COB occurred four years later.
