taekwondo1-1, Exercise 3: Origin views

Model answer:

Traditionalism: the origins of taekwondo are indigenous. Revisionism: taekwondo is rooted in karate. The article calls revisionism "the prevailing theory".

Government claim: in later years the Korean government has been a significant supporter of traditionalist views, "to divorce taekwondo from its link to Japan and give Korea a 'legitimate cultural past'".
Why a claim and not a fact: it is a statement about motive, no source for it appears in the passage read, and the quoted phrase is the article's wording, not a government statement. Chapter 9 returns to the argument.
