Why Turtle Taekwon-Do?

TaeKwon-Do: The Korean Art of Self Defence

History & theory behind General Choi Hong Hi’s TaeKwon-Do pattern set

Introduction

I have spent many hours researching the theories and stories behind the ITF TaeKwon-do patterns, it has been a fruitful and rewarding search;

however I realise that some students of TaeKwon-do may not be as fortunate with their time and resources.

I have therefore dedicated my web-space to my findings.

Should anyone have any queries please feel free to e-mail me: zoey@turtletaekwondo.com

I am always happy to learn and would love to answer any questions.
