Grand Master Jhoon Rhee Father of American Tae Kwon Do 1st brought his style of Martial Arts to the United States in 1956.  He is an author of 5 T.K.D. books and has played a leading role in 2 Martial Arts action movies.

Known as a Contemporary style of Martial Arts, The Techniques in Jhoon Rhee's T.K.D. are based on natural body positions which allow for enhanced speed and power.

Grand Master Jhoon Rhee's trademark "Martial Arts Ballet" combines classical and patriotic music with Martial Arts techniques to improve timing, reflexes and coordination.

By combining personal development philosophies with natural body movement, Grand Master Jhoon Rhee revolutionized the Martial Arts industry.  His invention of protective gear used in training allowed for people of all walks of life to benefit from T.K.D. classes without worry or fear of injury.

What is Tae Kwon Do? I defined the Jhoon Rhee Tae Kwon Do System through the "Lead By Example Action Philosophy" A picture is worth 1,000 words; an action is worth 1000 pictures. After 5,000 years of written human history, our Founding Fathers made a huge difference during the past 200 years by giving the world their own action philosophy. Click here to visit his site.

Our Founding Fathers not only talked about the freedom system but they actually realized it. Today we enjoy the fruits of their efforts. Let us not forget the value of their wisdom and courage.

"Liberty is the gift of God not the government, and the purpose of government is to protect that liberty not to destroy it."  By George Mason

Are drinking and smoking good for children? Everyone will say no. The next question is: Are they good for parents and teachers? The answers I heard from all children is NO!     Why then, do some adults smoke or drink? I believe this is the very reason why our children develop negative habits.

Let us teach our children not by words as alone but through our actions. My nickname is being changed from "Nobody Bothers Me" to the "Push-up Man" since 1998, when I performed 100 push-ups in 60 seconds in a TV show titled, "THE MASTERS", produced by Wesley Snipes. Three basic human qualities we emphasize to our students is Knowledge in the Mind, Honesty in the Heart, and Strength in the Body. I have been encouraging everyone to set a life goal, "100 Years of Wisdom in a body of 21-year-old."

Why Did I Study Tae Kwon Do? Before I answer this question, I would like to ask everyone, Why Do We Live?

The universal purpose of life is HAPPINESS. When I am truthful, my heart becomes beautiful; when my heart becomes beautiful, people love me; when people love me; I am Happy. Therefore, when one is truthful, being beautiful and being loved is automatic. Therefore, universal human values are Truth, Beauty, and Love.

I started studying my Tae Kwon Do at age 13, behind my father's back. Tae Kwon Do had a very low social image in Korea in the 1940's and 1950's. I could not understand that, because I recognized the value of it so clearly. I set my goal to introduce Tae Kwon Do in America, because I fell in love with American blonde movie stars. I made my commitment to enhance the public image of Tae Kwon Do in America, because anything that happens in America, good or bad, influences the world. My goal was realized. It went beyond my greatest expectation to witness Tae Kwon Do medalists in the Olympic Games in Sydney, Australia.
