The resolution designates June 1 of each year as Tae Kwon Do Day in New Jersey, recognizing the martial art's positive impact on participants and promoting increased participation across the state. Tae Kwon Do, a traditional Korean martial art known for its high kicks and dynamic movements, has gained international recognition since its formal acknowledgment in 1955 and became an Olympic sport in 2000. The practice is prevalent in New Jersey, with numerous training centers and the establishment of the New Jersey State Taekwondo Association, which governs the sport within the state.

The resolution highlights the numerous benefits of Tae Kwon Do, including improved physical fitness, mental health, and personal safety. Participants experience enhanced flexibility, balance, and agility, as well as increased self-discipline, confidence, and respect. The martial art fosters community through group training and is adaptable to individuals of all ages and abilities, including those with disabilities. By designating June 1 as Tae Kwon Do Day, the resolution aims to celebrate these benefits and encourage broader participation in the practice throughout New Jersey.
