His legacy lives on through the millions of practitioners around the world who continue to uphold the art and philosophy he created.

70 Years of Taekwon-Do

70 Years. One Art. One Family.

On April 11th 1955, General Choi Hong Hi gave the world a new martial art — Taekwon-Do.

Forged in Korea.
Shared with the world.
Lived by millions.

Today we honour:
The founder — General Choi Hong Hi.
The pioneers who carried Taekwon-Do across continents.
The Grand Masters and Masters who guide with knowledge and experience.
The Instructors who teach with passion and patience.
The Students who train with effort and spirit.
And the Parents and families who support every step of the journey.

Taekwon-Do is more than techniques.
It is respect.
It is discipline.
It is perseverance.
It is community.
It is family.

70 years strong — with generations still to come.

Today we celebrate the 87th birthday of Grand Master Rhee Ki Ha, the legendary pioneer of Taekwon-Do in the UK and Europe. As the first person outside of Korea to achieve the esteemed rank of IX Dan, his dedication and passion have shaped generations of practitioners and inspired countless martial artists worldwide.

Grand Master Rhee’s unwavering commitment to the art has left an indelible mark on Taekwon-Do, and his teachings continue to guide and inspire us to this day. We are truly grateful for his leadership and the legacy he has built.

Happy Birthday, Grand Master Rhee Ki Ha! Your contribution to Taekwon-Do and the martial arts community is unparalleled. We honour and celebrate you today and always!

International Women’s Day 2025

Today is a day to recognise and celebrate the incredible women who shape our lives—those who inspire, support, and strengthen the people around them.

Some show love and care, always there when it matters most. Some are tough and formidable, leading by example with resilience and determination. Others bring laughter and kindness, making even the hardest days a little brighter. And many do all of this and more, often without recognition.

I’ve been fortunate to know and be surrounded by strong women throughout my life—family, friends, mentors, and training partners—each making an impact in their own way. Whether through quiet support, words of encouragement, or leading from the front, their influence has shaped not only me but also the communities around them.

In Taekwon-Do, we talk about courtesy, integrity, perseverance, self-control, and indomitable spirit—qualities I’ve seen demonstrated time and again by the incredible women I’ve met, trained with, and learned from. Their strength, whether physical, mental, or emotional, deserves to be recognised today and every day.

So, to all the women who inspire, empower, and uplift those around them—thank you. Your impact is immeasurable, and the world is a better place because of you.

Happy International Women’s Day.

🥋 Why Martial Arts is a Must for Everyone, Especially Children and Young Adults! 💪

As a parent of a 14-year-old black belt and an 8-year-old on his journey to becoming a black belt, I’ve seen first-hand the life-changing benefits of martial arts. It’s more than just self-defence—it’s a foundation for success in life. Here’s why every child and young adult should try it:

✅ Confidence & Discipline
Martial arts gives young people the focus and drive to achieve their goals, both inside and outside the dojang.

✅ Physical Fitness
It’s a fun way to stay active, build strength, and develop lifelong healthy habits.

✅ Respect & Courtesy
Martial arts instils respect, responsibility, and the value of hard work—skills that carry into adulthood.

✅ Mental Resilience
With structured challenges and clear progress, martial arts helps kids and teens build resilience and manage stress.

✅ Real-Life Self-Defence
Practical skills that give them the confidence to navigate life safely.

Seeing my own children grow through martial arts has been incredible—they’re more disciplined, focused, and confident. It’s the best gift I could give them for their future!
