General Choi talks about his fascinating life — at one point he was three days from execution — and the creation and development of Taekwon-Do.
General Choi: the President kidnapped my son and daughter and threatened their lives if I did not return.
My response to them was, “I choose Taekwon-Do over my son.” President Park, knowing of my character and determination, ordered Kim, Un Young to establish the World Taekwon-Do Federation to fight against the International Taekwon-Do Federation.
And the rest is history......... ITF was extinguished in its home country, instructors black listed, and General Choi erased from South Korean history.
Bet you guys didn't know that!
