About
Approximately 1300 years ago, during the Silla Dynasty in Korea, an ancient form of unarmed combat – known in those days as Tae-Kyon – evolved. The ancient Art of Tae – Kyon is now widely dispersed throughout the world, and known as various forms of Tae Kwon Do. The definition of Rhee Tae Kwon Do involves dynamic techniques of unarmed combat for self-defensive purposes, combining the skilled application of powerful punches, flying kicks, blocks, dodges, and interceptions. The Rhee Tae Kwon Do practionor uses well – trained hands, arms, and feet to effect the rapid destruction of any attacker.
RHEE Tae Kwon Do is most assuredly a dynamic and extremely effective Martial Art – more valid in the violent times in which we live in than ever before. But the art reaches much further than mere combat effectiveness. The discipline, mental training and varied techniques of Rhee Tae Kwon Do also provide the grounds for engendering in the practitioner a strong sense of Justice, fortitude, compassion, humility, and resolve. It is the vital mental conditioning that separates the true practitioner from one who has mastered only the physical aspects of the Art.
