About Tae Kwon-Do
A modern art steeped in history.
Approximately 1300 years ago, during the Silla Dynasty in Korea, an ancient form of unarmed combat – known as Tae-Kyon – evolved.
Today, this ancient Art of Tae-Kyon has adapted and changed into the modern art of Tae Kwon-Do, integrating traditional techniques and borrowing aspects of other arts such as Japan’s karate and Chinese kung-fu as well as many indigenous Korean martial arts traditions such as Taekkyeon, Subak, and Gwonbeop. Tae Kwon-Do brings the best of both ancient and modern styles together into an Art perfect for all aspects of life.
Characterised by its emphasis on head-height kicks, jumping and spinning kicks, and fast kicking techniques it’s popularity has seen Tae Kwon-Do grow and be dispersed throughout the world in many forms.
Rhee Tae Kwon-Do involves dynamic techniques of unarmed combat for self-defensive 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.
But the Art reaches much further than mere combat effectiveness. The discipline, mental training and varied techniques of Rhee Tae Kwon-Do also provide the grounds for engendering in the practitioner a strong sense of humility and resolve. It is this vital mental conditioning that separates the true practitioner from one who has mastered only the physical aspects of the art. Expertly taught by qualified instructors, regular practice of Rhee Tae Kwon-Do ensures limitless benefits for a fulfilling Way of Life.
World Master Chong Chul Rhee
World Master Chong Chul Rhee was one of the 12 original Masters of Tae Kwon-Do, assembled by the Korean Tae Kwon-Do Association and tasked with spreading the Art throughout the world. Master Chong Chul Rhee, founder of Rhee Tae Kwon-Do in Australia, head of the Rhee Tae Kwon-Do Organisation, World Master Instructor and Chief Instructor for Australia and New Zealand, is also the President of the Tae Kwon-Do Instructors’ Federation of Australia and New Zealand.

World Master Rhee developed and taught special unarmed combat methods to the Marine Commandos, the elite Commando’s underwater demolition team, the Marine Brigade Headquarters and Marine 2nd Infantry Divisions. (The Korean Marines earned a reputation as the world’s most feared and courageous troops. Nicknamed ‘The Demon Hunter Marines”, they were easily recognised on the battlefields and were the most disciplined, daring and highly efficient elite of the armed forces.)
World Master Chong Chul Rhee spent some years in South East Asia – including Malaysia, Singapore, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Brunei and other countries – spreading the Art of Tae Kwon-Do. Tae Kwon-Do is booming in these countries today and many thousands of students are reaping the benefits of World Master Rhee’s dedication to the Art.
