It was in 1994 that Taekwondo was officially introduced into China. After that, Taekwondo was put on the list of China's Ninth National Sports Games. Just a few years, China achieved so outstanding results in the Olympic Games as to promote Taekwondo's rapid development in China. The development during the twenty years made Taekwondo all the way from weak to strong, into the ranks of the top sports. The rapid development of Taekwondo in China also attracted the attention of provincial and Municipal Sports Bureau to build various provincial or city team. Compared to the rapid development of the athletic level in other regions of China, the development in the southwest area is relatively slow. The southwest area refers to Chongqing, Guizhou, Sichuan, Yunnan, Tibet.
