- General Hong Hi Choi is the father and founder of Tae Kwon Do. But do you know who he called “The Model of Tae Kwon Do?”
Watch how “The Model of Tae Kwon Do” went onto to become known as the “The Living Legend” and why he is the ONLY living pioneering Master of Tae Kwon Do that has got BETTER with age. So much so, that at the age of 78 he now performs better than when he was younger.
General Hong Hi Choi used the pseudonym "The Model of Tae Kwon Do" to acknowledge the expertise of this exponent of his art. He recognised that this particular individual was able to perform the techniques of Tae Kwon Do to the exact specification, precision and accuracy of how he envisioned The Art of Tae Kwon Do should be performed.
I was gifted wirh the opportunity of being part or a reception at the airport for General Choi. ITF TKD made us strong, disciplined, fearless and confident growing up. It was tough, but I cherish the memories.
Beautiful, I studied under Grandmaster Moo Yung Lee from South Korea. A kind smart gentleman. I was his first student in his second school, essentially had private lessons until his school took off. Memories I cherish
I still have General Choi’s book.
Very inspiring video. I wish I knew of GM Choi's outlook and training methods back in the day. I am a Tae Kwon Do Blackbelt, but due to all the extensive kicking I wore my hips out at a fairly early age. Young and not knowing better!! But thanks for sharing your life's journey.
It got my knees. Sadly I had to stop as I was working on second Dan. No regrets
fun fact: Kwonbub or Gwonbeub is the same term as Japanese Kenpo(Kempo) or Chinese Quanfa(Chuan Fa). which translates to "Fist Law" or "Fist Method" in Korean
Yeah, sino-korean n sino-japanese n sino-viet words are Chinese terms borrowed into east Asian language. Like how most European languages like English uses "Latin n Greek" terms n words
Mu sul and bujutsu are Korean n Japanese terms from Chinese language n has the same etymology for Chinese word wu shu(martial arts/skill/technique)Mu and bu is from Chinese WU(martial) And sul n jutsu is from Chinese shu.(skill/technique) Etc
I was 12 years when I joined and left it in my 16 as red step 2 but promising things are whenever I heard master name kwang Jo 🙏 it's not about acting smart and trying to overpower but it teaches a humble and healthy life.
Now I am 36 but still thinking to present my self as opine student
General Choi Hong Hi you are best .I met this great man during 1993 in Delhi .
That is kwang jo Choi.
I heard so much about this master in tae kwon do back in the day but never understood why he left but now I understand thanks for your knowledge master
Always of the fight of ego nothing more
This is was the aim of Tae Kwon Do before the Olympic enter the Dojang.
kinda spooky to think of the impact this guy has had on my life and taekwondo as an art
When I first start training at Choi karate, (that's what it was called in the 80's)
He taught Tae Kwon do, it wasn't good on the joints, I over extended knees, elbow and such.
He removed the rigid movements, no more lock out or fully extended movement. This made it possible to practice at any age.
True motivation 💯
Respect 🙏
Amazing video
I trained in Rhee TKD in Australia for almost 40 years, now at almost 70, I am still fit and flexible, practised correctly, the body does NOT break down
It sounds good.

Thank you !
Thank You for this Motivation. Taekwon 🙏
Respect 🙏🙏
this kind of martial art philosophy has been absent for too long. its so refreshing and important, we have to check ourself
And master kang was there too one of your top selections
I love taekwondo ,thanks for inspiring.
an honest and nobel man.
He looked like another ITF master, Hee ill Cho.
I love Taekwondo :) it’s like an addiction in a good way :):) but idk why a lot of ppl say Taekwondo sucks :(
are you in itf?
Taekwondo is great, I say do what you love.. respect from Goju Ryu karate✌️
do not compare with MMA UFC Or Boxing..they are full contact ..Tae Kwon do is semi contact .. that's why we call sport Tae Kwon do..
Because meat heads all think martial arts is about smashing people's heads in and nothing else. Rather than a mantra in which to improve your life for health and all the other benefits that come with being a practitioner.
In summation never mind other people, you do you my friend.
@@jago18777 thank you, finally somebody who gets it. Taekwondo isnt learning how to beat someone up like boxing, its learning how to NOT get beat up.
Often this happens by avoiding the fight to begin with by just not being an asshole picking fights.
PIL SUNG, MASTER BANFIELD!
I’m a career martial artist in Taekwondo. I studied under GM In Mook Kim. I’m 66 years old. I’ve had both knees replaced, my left hip replaced, 2 lower back fusions, and my right foot rebuilt due to a round house board break that went terribly wrong. My body is broken. I’m in constant pain. I still train 3 to 4 days a week and teach classes at my school of 35 years 6 days a week. When I go home at night, I can barely stand the pain I’m in. My question is, how is CKD different from traditional Taekwondo? And, can its training really help to heal my body as your Grandmaster says it did for him? What’s so different. Thank you.
Master Cavanaugh, thank you for your message. The injuries that you have described and sustained seem consistent with the nature of your Martial Art techniques and training. Please watch this video, it will give you an indication as to why: ruclips.net/video/BhGXMrcE2X8/видео.html
The body has the potential and intelligence to heal itself, however one must create the right conditions to facilitate the healing process. We are truly sorry to hear that you are in so much pain.
Hippocrates, who was a Greek physician and is known as the father of medicine, said: If someone wishes for good health, one must first ask oneself if he is ready to do away with the reasons for his illness. Only then is it possible to help him.
You can be helped and there is much that can be done, however you must first understand what Hippocrates is saying. If you do then please reach out and we will be more than happy to discuss things with you.
Well It focuses on no snappy kicks which can damage your joints. Lot's of streching and taking it light especially for the beginning.
Hi Roger, I'm with you, 40 years ITF TKD and still only 3rd Dan. I can't even enumerate the permanent injuries and pain, and at 62, I still can't quit. It's the difference between being a martial artist and doing martial arts. It's a state of mind.
I didnt even know something like 'Choi kwang do' existed lol
I heard it was 29 of infantry where Taekwondo developed
Karatê Do = Tae Kwon Do
Gichin Funakosh i= Choi Hong Hi
This was the aim of Tae Kwon Do before the Olympics entered the Dojang!
Nonsense, you are referring only to WTF style tkd,the original style is ITF which isnt Olympic and not sport orientated.Most practitioners have zero interest in the pathetic Olympic tkd
@@scarred10 truth.
@@scarred10 WT is a style, and ITF is a style, and ATA is... weird, right? call down WT all you like, I still wouldn't want to get hit by Joe Rogan's kicks. Also, look at the dork who commented below who thinks ITF isn't full contact :D
@@bryanpoole3036 ITF isnt full contact,clearly the written rules of every organisation for the last 50 yrs say so.In practice it can vary with ref but not at international level. I was active on the ITF circuit for 15 yrs,12 as black belt, its light contact officially with a very restricted amount of boxing allowed.
@@scarred10 I should clarify. Competition sparring may be touch point but all my self defense was full contact.
My old teacher I'm 30 years in the arts
Mr Williams this is good to hear. Where did you train? In what area?
@@apostlestevenl.williams5384 I never knew Grandmaster Kwang Jo Choi taught there can you remember what year? and the name of the studio?
I'm not directly His student I'm a 3 rd generation student but I did get a black belt from him.
@@apostlestevenl.williams5384 thanks for the clarification. May I ask who was your Instructor?

Tekwondo ITF the original.
General Choi is like the CEO of a tech company who says, “we should have touch screens on all our devices.” Then all the engineers and computer nerds actually make that happen, after which the ceo proudly proclaims, “I invented the touch screen!” Of course, to make that truly accurate you’d also have to posit a rival tech company that created their own touch screen and got it accepted into the olympics. 😛
green belt 8 cup is here. TAEK WON !
How far sports karate has fallen - even the small clips of his kata was much better then what we see today. Just a bunch of yelling and tricking.
ANY COMBAT SYSTEM IS FULL CONTACT. IF IS NOT FOR FIGHT THEN IS MODERN KARATE , TAEKWONDO, ETC. TO FIGHT IS NOTHING MODERN , IS TO DEAL WITH THE REALITY . THE WAY YOU FIGHT IS THE WAY YOU TRAIN . IF IS TO GET A GOOD HEALTH CALL IT FITNESS TRAINING BUT NOT MARTIAL ART.
I dont know what planet you're from but very few arts are full contact because most students don't want it.
@@scarred10 MOST STUDENTS ARE PUSSY.......... WHAT YOU CALL ART DUDE? MAYBE BALLET. WHEN YOU HAVE TO DEFEND YOUR LIFE YOU PLAY SEMI-CONTACT?? STEP SPARRING??? KATA.... TULL .... ARE YOU REALLY IDIOT ?????
@@scarred10 I WAS TALKING ABOUT COMBAT SYSTEMS NOT SHOW SYSTEMS YOU MORON.
@@ovideoarkans7982 lad,the vast majority of arts are only for show they were never effective in the first place,its really only the combat sports that are effective .Before you call someone an idiot,you might learn how to speak and write the English language.If you want to speak your Hindu go somewhe else.
Combat sports have rules and the streets do not.
This is a lie teakwondo was brought from Korea to America by the Lee Brothers
He didn't say America... listen to the video again
taekwondo was a shotokan and taekkyeon style.
it was derived from tang soo do which is a japanese shotokan karate but then splits into 9 kwans and spread all over other countries around during after the Korean war
all ill say is do your research
