The Taekwondo Preservation Society and the Korean Taekwondo Association at a press conference
There is a deepening understanding between dog organizations over the enactment of the Dog Promotion Act, which aims to establish a support system for the traditional Korean martial art of dog fighting by the central and local governments.
Those who want to inherit and preserve the sport as a cultural asset and those who want to develop it as a sporting event have expressed differences of opinion and are engaged in an emotional battle.
The Chungju, Chungcheongbuk-do-based Taekwondo Preservation Society and the Korean Taekwondo Association held a press conference at the Chungju City Hall on the 25th to announce a strong response to the Korean Taekwondo Association, a member organization of the Korean Sports Federation, accusing it of distortion and slander.
This follows a statement issued by 100 national sports leaders affiliated with the KDF on Nov. 14, in which they accused Chungju dog organizations of blocking the enactment of the Dog Dog Promotion Act to protect their interests.
The bill was introduced in July by Representative Kim Yoon-duk of the Democratic Party of Korea, 카지노사이트랭크 but has been stalled in the National Assembly due to opposition from Chungju dog organizations.
"Although we agree with the purpose of the bill, it is a matter that is being pushed unilaterally by the Korean Kennel Club without mutual consensus," said the Kennel Club Preservation Society and the Korean Kennel Club Association, "and we have suggested to lawmakers that they should think more about such arbitrary behavior."
"The Taekwondo Promotion Bill limits Taekwondo instructors to those 'qualified under the National Sports Promotion Act' and only recognizes instructors produced by the Korea Taekwondo Association." "It is doubtful that excluding national trainees or former students recognized by the Cultural Heritage Administration can create a future Taekwondo that meets the common interest," they said.
The two organizations also responded to the Korean Taekwondo Association's accusation that "Taekwondo performers are not interested in the future of Taekwondo while receiving billions of won in subsidies," calling it a "serious slander." "The Taekwondo Preservation Society and the National Taekwondo Association have been subject to strict monitoring and control while carrying out Taekwondo transmission and promotion projects with subsidies from the Cultural Heritage Administration or Chungju City.
The Tack Dog Preservation Society is a cultural property holding organization recognized and announced by the Cultural Heritage Administration, and the Korea Tack Dog Association is a corporation authorized by the Cultural Heritage Administration. 섯다
