What got you started?
I saw this movie and was in my first class within 2 weeks! Never stopped since....and this song played on my walkman constantly back in 1984! What inspired you you to start your martial art journey?

My Grand(Mother) and my Father! Since I can remember any thought I remember I was doing “the splits” and Naeryo chagi lol. My grandmother and father went hard! For my first 14 years of living I ate slept drank breathed TKD… and then I thought I knew it all about life. I took a 8 year hiatus in my later teens/ adolescence playing basketball in hs/college and being hard headed… after her passing it was like lightning struck me. I had to finish at least from black stripe to 1st dan… well I did that… and then became immersed in a whole new world… I finally learned how to learn.! I finally realized the beauty within the struggle… now I can’t look back.!

@Chris Reid absolutely Sahyunim. She set the path forward and fortunately enough I’ve been able to realize and begin actualizing her dream for me. Which in reality is just always been my own dream and aspirations for myself.! All of my elders including the ones still here will always live through me because I will carry their legacy righteously.!

@Troy El Bey absolutely Sahyunim. And for even the younger Dans like myself I almost feel like it’s necessary. While OVER analyzing absolutely can drive away from the practical application. Confusion erodes the practical application entirely because we have people doing movements that in a REAL situation would not work… if that’s the case then we have to ask are we actually practicing or instructing Taekwon-Do.

Legitimacy & Experience Combined with Tenure
General Choi was such a visionary man! it’s profound how Taekwon-Do in all of its essence can be overshadowed by the egomaniac and their desire to be recognized without putting in the work ethic. Food for thought; a 3rd Dan is the equivalent to a medical doctorate in knowledge and time when a practitioner follows General Choi’s teachings and body of work. Scientific Principles, Anatomy, Biology, and Philosophy! All we have to do is immerse ourselves in Taekwon-Do study and practice under a quality Instructor! 🤔🤯

Absolutely agreed Sir! Unfortunately our “Do” is often lost it seems nowadays. Integrity null and void. Immerse yourself into just one of his many physical textual works and it’s like an oyster hiding a pearl!

Historic Moments!
Our journey in Taekwon-Do can lead us to many unforgettable moments! In this photo, taken in 2024, we were honoured to sit down with Madame Choi( General Choi’s Widow) and her son, President Choi. I have some profound memories over the last decade plus have the honour of visiting with the Mother Taekwon-Do in her home. Master Demers, Master Reid and myself have the privilege of being the only ITF members to visit her and spend time listening to history and intimate details of the founders journey and experiences while developing Taekwon-Do……. Mind blowing!

Taekwon Sahyunim and community. Multifaceted question(s) and I truly believe needs clarification for all practitioners. Could you elaborate on the different types of flying used in Taekwon-Do. Twigi Twimyo Twio. And maybe clarify some of the types of motion used especially in sparring (pihagi) or (mikulgi) or in tul ie movement Do San 15&16 fast motion , 16&17 Yul Gok continuous motion, 27 in Joong Gun slow motion. Etc.

Taekwon. May we always respect and be courteous to one another. “Never Tire of Learning. Never Tire of Teaching.”
