Meet the Founder

Meet the Founder >Part 8< is now on-line. Test your knowledge of the Founder with a 10 question quiz!


For their grading, white belts need to learn the name of the founder of Taekwon-Do,General Choi Hong Hi. Many of you probably wonder why.

Basically without General Choi, you wouldn’t be reading this at all, because there would be no Taekwon-Do. He invented the martial art that we all do today, so knowing his name is pretty important really. Even better is knowing a bit about his life; in fact some of it is pretty exciting, other bits are quite strange.

*hint. In the following pages, if you hold your mouse over some of the drawings, you may see something happen.
