Thirteen years ago, on June 15th, 2002 in Pyongyang, North Korea, in the age of 84 years Gen. Choi Hong Hi – Father and the Founder of Taekwon-Do and the International Taekwon-Do Federation passed away.

Gen. Choi dedicated all his life to the development, teaching and promotion of Taekwon-Do. He had a relevant impact on the enormous number of Taekwon-Do practitioners, for whom his legacy became a way of life.

Despite the fact that he is not among us any more, Gen. Choi will always stay in our memory through teaching continued according to his spirit and his guidance.
