The modern period of Taekwondo began with the defeat of the Japanese and the liberation of Korea in 1945. Korean martial arts masters wanted to eliminate Japanese influences. They began discussions on how to return to the traditional Taekyon based Korean martial arts and on how to unite the various martial arts schools (or Kwans) and styles into a single style and national sport. After several years of discussions, the name "Taekwondo" was chosen in April 1955 by the board of masters of the various Kwans, and the kwans started to unify through the late 1950s.
The spread of Taekwondo as a martial art and competitive sport continues to this date.
Like the belt, the Karate patch is a respected accessory to the uniform dedicated to the martial art of Karate. Like a School logo or emblem, the patch is attached to the uniform as a source of pride for the student, as well as a way to identify one student from the other in times of competition. Each patch is designed by the school with a certain symbolism in mind, to express the ideals and teachings of the school in one small logo.
The Karate patch is normally worn over the left breast area of the uniform, although some schools require students to wear it over the right or on the sleeve. Depending on the rules of the school, wearing a former school's patch is forbidden and considered an insult to the teachings of one's current school. In the Olympics, or in high level Karate competitions, strict rules apply to what patches are placed where on the body, although many times the flag of the student's nation of origin is added to the uniform for a patriotic gesture.
