What is the difference between Rhee Tae Kwon Do and other Taekwondo schools?
We need to start with a little background history. In Rhee Tae Kwon Do, we train in the original military style of Tae Kwon Do designed for unarmed self-defence. As a South Korean marine, World Master Chong Chul Rhee taught hand-to-hand combat to the armed forces and was selected to assist in the formalisation of the martial art of Tae Kwon Do. Master Rhee is one of the twelve original Masters of Tae Kwon Do officially appointed by the South Korean government to spread their art across the world. Master Rhee is the founder and head of our school, and as such it is a traditional Kwan (school) employing tradtional martial etiquette to ensure the safety of all students whilst training. Following the military method also gives students a systematic, tried-and-tested curriculum that supports ease in learning the art correctly and effectively.
