What is Rhee Tae Kwon-Do?
Approximately 1300 years ago, during the Sila Dynasty in Korea, an ancient form of unarmed combat, known in those days and 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 defence purposes, combining the skilled application of powerful punches, flying kicks, blocks, dodges and interceptions. The Rhee Tae Kwon-Do practitioner uses well trained hands, arms and feet to effect the rapid destruction of any attacker. To sum it up the words literally mean; Rhee = for our Master Instructor whom brought the Art of Tae Kwon-Do to Australia First, Tae = to kick or smash with the foot, Kwon = to punch or strike with the fist, Do = the Way. Therefore they have the combined meaning of the way of punching and kicking, the Master Rhee way! Given a choice who could be better to learn from than the Father of Rhee Tae Kwon-Do Australia & Nz?
