Newtown Taekwon-Do Club always strives to promote the art of Taekwon-Do and follow in the foot steps of founder General Choi Hong Hi

Today, we remember the man whose vision changed millions of lives around the world.

General Choi Hong Hi did not simply create a martial art; he created a path built on courtesy, integrity, perseverance, self-control and an indomitable spirit.

More than two decades after his passing, his teachings continue to inspire generations of practitioners who carry his legacy in every pattern, every training session and every act of respect.

His dream became our way of life.

General Choi Hong Hi
9 November 1918 – 15 June 2002
