For years I didnt know the that phillip and the guy with eye patch were real life brothers. Kinda puts a whole new spin on "i offer myself as your brother". Still watch botb to this day.
Master Rhee is a big inspiration to me taught me a lot doesn't matter what art the main goal is to become a better person than you were and use your skills to help others become their best
Wow. That´s what Sensei Rhee was telling is, whatever you do in life, if you wanted it so do it. Mabye a doctor, a scientist... what ever you like... I´m starting after 27 yrs off training again. And I like the movie "Best of the best", because that´s the reason what training I started then.... God bless him... And now I´m starting it all over again.... Master Rhee thank you....
@SpinDoctor91 Yeah I loved Philip in the Best of the Best series. What I love here is he actually acknowledges that TKD has advantages and disadvantages, just like any other single martial art. I hate when people from any fighting art or method try to pump their chest up as if their art is perfect or the best. If martial arts are made by humans, who are imperfect, then how can the art itself be perfect? It of course can be excellent at what it does best, but such pride is counter-productive.
I've done tkd for years and transitioned into kickboxing and now jiu jitsu a year ago. We don't see tkd implemented much in mma because there's a lot of flashy kicks (wheel kicks or spinning back kicks) which could open you up for take downs. But tkd taught me to have quick reflexes, to be explosive(hip escapes), and flexibility. Every martial arts contributes to different combat situations you may be in or adds on an advantage when learning a new martial art. My tkd days weren't a waste of time
Phillip Rhee i love you and i am also in taekwondo im high brown belt soon to be in jr black belt than black belt so i want to transfer too your class if you dont mind
I have practiced TKD for just under 3 years...I'v learned that it teaches you not how to fight, but also how to avoid a fight. I agree with Rhee when he says that martial artists are losing respect for the sport and forgetting where it came from. I recommend Tkd to anyone who wants to learn how to defend themselves!!
There's a person who smashes rocks really well and there's a person who can make a life-like sculpture out of a rock. Neither might be able to do what the other does as well, neither should denigrate the other.
You can tell he’s a true master when he can swallow his pride and admit the faults in TKD, not a lot of Black belts will admit that. Plz don’t rip me to shred I’m a TKD guy myself
i started going to jun chong tkd in 94' n master rhee still teaches there cept now hes so good hes actually scary to spar like without even doing anything. and by the way if anyone is looking for jun chong tkd and cant find it its becuz we just moved across the street and like a block down wilshire towards downtown.
This is a great interview. I am a Pe teacher who also teaches TKDo and studied judo in college. I agree that the tournament scene is a circus and that tradition in everything in this wonderful country is being lost to the dollar.This is seen in public school and the dojang! Values are being dunbed down to make kids successful without instilling the work ethic that built this country. It starts at home parents should not expect everyone else to do the hard work of leading by example:)
I'd like to know what movies Phillip Rhee has coming up! I've been a fan for years! His skills as an instructor and my respect for him as a humanitarian have only increased my respect!
What he's talking about--the limitations of Taekwondo--were what my own school in the '90's took into account. Since leaving, every other school I've seen has been overly focused on tournaments and point sparring and on absurd kicking techniques. The art part of martial art is often lost or minimized by them.
I like him very much,and respect by this time...My first and last dream is to see him,and join to his club,where may be i can learn hapkido...Suppa interview))
I really like his style and his movies. I am in fact considering training in a similar combination of MAs, except that instead of Hapkido i'll probably take Judo. (there is only one Hapkido-dojang in my vicinity and somehow i don't like the training there) Also Judo has the advantage of having ground-fighting in it (in case somebody tries to tackle you down). Back on Topic: Great interview, it's good to see a really great MA-Teacher who takes the way of nonviolence seriously!
que estilo de lucha de taekwondo esta utilizando el maestro rhee? a mi me parece el estilo ITF mas utilizando que el estilo WTF asi yo lo veo es un gran maestro de taekwondo viva el taekwondo...
@TheG1NGAN1NJA I agree. This is why Mr. Rhee incorporated other styles to compliment. As far as why people do a particular martial art, My take is what the individual hopes to gain be it fitness, self defense, competition, etc.
Only the boneheaded martial artists put down another martial arts. Their mentality is this is better than that, etc, etc. It's not about which one is better but about what martial arts will impact your life the most. I was a kyokushin and BJJ student, but I have a lot of respect with any martial arts esp. the beauty of TKD. I love their amazing kicks and how I wish I've learned TKD in my younger days. Phillip Rhee is such an amazing actor and martial artist, I'm sure a great TKD instructor as well. I'm just wondering why he didn't get much attention from Hollywood as he's got all the stuff that a successful actor can have (except being Asian, as I believe they don't like Asian lead action star during the 90s)
@TheG1NGAN1NJA I started doing taekwondo at age 8 or 9. I just wanted to do some kind of martial art and I did it because a lot of other people I knew did one so I wanted to learn one too. My school taught/teaches Tae Kwon Do, gets it's grappling from Hapkido, and Kumdo. Taekwondo is a good base art or standalone art. It's an excellent art as a base from which you can go and learn other arts like kungfu, boxing, wrestling bjj, judo jujutsu, kendo, or muay thai or lots of other martial arts.
Pretty crazy this guy did movies at all considering what he really loves in life, teaching martial arts. Being an actor is not exactly the same as training students.
Avean what you said has great truth and I also agree with Phillip as well. I do see that among the martial arts world there is alot of disrespect. Alot of them have even adopted a gang mentality. And MMA is as you forementioned, is really not making it any better. They really don't fight out of respect, they fight out of malice and to beat the crap out of other people. Thats also not the purpose. Mutual exchange and perfection of knowledge is the purpose of martial arts...all styles.
God bless him,, just one question,, Why Mr Phillip Rhee can't come to the USA to make movies,, I asked why, and I can't get no answer from nobody,, he's a great person and he's just like master Bruce Lee pure 💓 heart,, I really don't know about he's Brothers but he looks very sincere and honest and he loves martial arts JKD I have seen many doing it but I have seen Mr Phillip Rhee movie and he is a great acting action are fantastic brilliant thanks for sharing and I hope to hear from Mr Phillip Rhee or he's beautiful wife,, about my question,, you're the best. thank you

If you haven't seen the Best of the Best- Phillip Rhee- all 4 volumes, it's a must see, best martial art movies ever.
Amazing, Phillip Rhee is an amazing teacher and also a man of integrity and great respect.

What a legend, one of the reasons I started my journey
Phillip Rhee i love you and i am also in taekwondo im high brown belt soon to be in jr black belt than black belt so i want to transfer too your class if you dont mind
refreshing honesty for once he knows the limitations of taekwondo hand techniques and he actually says it hats off to him
Mr. Rhee my respects!
I have practiced TKD for just under 3 years...I'v learned that it teaches you not how to fight, but also how to avoid a fight. I agree with Rhee when he says that martial artists are losing respect for the sport and forgetting where it came from. I recommend Tkd to anyone who wants to learn how to defend themselves!!
Have nothing but the utmost respect for him. True martial artist right here.
There's a person who smashes rocks really well and there's a person who can make a life-like sculpture out of a rock. Neither might be able to do what the other does as well, neither should denigrate the other.
I have so much respect for this guy it's unreal
Ótimo ator e lutador Pillip Rhee!
His the reason why I join tkd watching best of the best was my favourite movie
Carl Lubrin best of the best films is the reason I started martial arts
i love this guy and i love his spirit,his skills,his personality and his films.best of the best :)
this was great to watch and listen wish there was more...i have alot of respect for mr Phillip Rhee "bow"
You can tell he’s a true master when he can swallow his pride and admit the faults in TKD, not a lot of Black belts will admit that.
Plz don’t rip me to shred I’m a TKD guy myself
i started going to jun chong tkd in 94' n master rhee still teaches there cept now hes so good hes actually scary to spar like without even doing anything. and by the way if anyone is looking for jun chong tkd and cant find it its becuz we just moved across the street and like a block down wilshire towards downtown.
this is a GREAT interview!
Jun Chung tkd in la is the best to learn martial arts skills
This is a great interview. I am a Pe teacher who also teaches TKDo and studied judo in college.

I love Phillip Rhee skillful masters truly excellent and my favorite idol
Love his voice and ideals, much respect
love this guy still he is so awesome
Respect to Phillip Rhee; and to Simon (De Han) both are clearly both student and master of martial arts.
I'd like to know what movies Phillip Rhee has coming up! I've been a fan for years! His skills as an instructor and my respect for him as a humanitarian have only increased my respect!

Mr.Rhee seems like a real down to earth cool guy. I enjoy his movies and a real martial arts talent he is.
thank you
It was a scene from one of his earlier fims. Philip Rhee was a speed demon. Never seen anyone faster on film.
Brilliant!!!
Master Jun Chong his my Grnad Master i learn from one of his best students...i also met Phillip Rhees awesome school...Ucelo Martial Arts!!!!
Very good interview. Thanks for the insight.
He was an awesome actor
philip is such a humble guy yet he kicks ass
Great philosophy of the martial artist 🙏. Good to hear that.!
Definitely a 1991 hairstyle.
cool.. i really enjoyed maching his moves in that movie. great philopsy he has
the best!!!!!!!
phillip rhee what a legend
Philip is a great Martial Artist,all the roles he was playing in the movies he was basicly playing himself i think.
omg i wana learn this man, gd combination, taekwondo, hapkido and boxing
Ninja Turf was awesome. One of the few films that featured Bill Superfoot Wallace
I like him very much,and respect by this time...My first and last dream is to see him,and join to his club,where may be i can learn hapkido...Suppa interview))
i like their sparring controll idea!
BC some of us have real jobs, families and lives and don't get into fist fights and engage in violence on a daily basis and TKD is a "martial ART."
Mr. Rhee - the epitome of integrity!
I wanna meet this guy. He's so sincere.
A very wise man..phillip Rhee..
I really like his style and his movies.
I am in fact considering training in a similar combination of MAs, except that instead of Hapkido i'll probably take Judo.

That's Loren Avedon at 2.42 sparring with Phillip Rhee! Cool!
@TheG1NGAN1NJA I agree. This is why Mr. Rhee incorporated other styles to compliment. As far as why people do a particular martial art, My take is what the individual hopes to gain be it fitness, self defense, competition, etc.
a good fighter like jackie chan and jet li.... quiet and zen....send from france : vive le taekwondo
Yes it is.
Correct me if I am wrong but I think at 1:16 I spot Loren Avedon from King of the Kick Boxers sparring here
Pop it Tommy!
Great movie.

@ddalki012 We will be posting an uncut version of this in the near future. Might not be much different, we'll see.
Thank you for uploading!
BTW, where is is dojo?
Where's he now...long time did'nt see his movie
i started taekwondo when i was 3 i'm wanting to do stunt work for games and stuff like that
i remember testing in that studio for my blue belt way back.
Respect from an african men.🙏🏾
also at 1:15 and if you watch close you can see him in the background a few different times.
True Master
Nice ...
this is awesome, it seems cut a bit short though. is there a second part?
I came to troll but Phillip spoke very well. thumbs up with Ben Henderson as champion let's hope for the return of Taekwondo
good fighter & a good guy.
they used to be my master's grandmaster students. My master trained with them.
TKD makes you fast and you will get great footwork.
@TheG1NGAN1NJA I started doing taekwondo at age 8 or 9. I just wanted to do some kind of martial art and I did it because a lot of other people I knew did one so I wanted to learn one too. My school taught/teaches Tae Kwon Do, gets it's grappling from Hapkido, and Kumdo. Taekwondo is a good base art or standalone art. It's an excellent art as a base from which you can go and learn other arts like kungfu, boxing, wrestling bjj, judo jujutsu, kendo, or muay thai or lots of other martial arts.
@jackendy Same as TKD in principle, just adds a boxing and throwing aspect.
Philip Rhee is my teacher at Everyday Church
💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾🎯💥👏♥️
Pretty crazy this guy did movies at all considering what he really loves in life, teaching martial arts. Being an actor is not exactly the same as training students.
