During WW II there were many local Korean

martial artists that protected remote villages

from Japanese invaders. Since Korea is 75%

mountainous the villages were separated

geographically and often each had their

own martial arts style.

General Choi Hong-Hee sought

to unite these varied styles

into one. On April 11, 1955,

Korean president SeungMan

Rhee gave General Choi

permission to use Tae Kwon

Do as the name of the martial

art we know today. General Choi became

the president of the Korean Taekwon-Do

Association in 1959 and the International

Taekwon-Do Federation(ITF) in 1966.

1. In 1971, during the army-controlled
   regime of Park Jung-Hee, General Choi
   gathered black belts in a failed effort to
   defeat Park in the elections. As a result
   General Choi had to seek asylum in
   Canada. His motto was “Taekwon-Do is
   not for hooligans.” 2. General Choi went
   to north Korea to teach because Tae Kwon
   Do had already been spread throughout

democratic countries. He wanted to

spread Tae Kwon Do to communist

countries, starting with north Korea and

later Russia, China and Eastern Europe.

2. In 2008 Alex Gillis an investigative journalist
   from Canada published his groundbreaking
   work A Killing Art: The Untold History of
   Ta e k w o n - D o. In it he reveals that Dr. Kim
   Un-Yong used his Korea-CIA operative name
   of Mikey Kim as a government operative
   that worked for the military dictatorships
   and through the long arm of the K-CIA.

   This was uncovered through the Korea-gate
   scandal (after Watergate, every scandal that
   hit Washington had “gate” attached to it). In
   the 1970s, Korea was involved in bribing US
   congressmen and government officials so the US
   would maintain its military presence in South
   Korea. This became known as Korea-gate.
