It was a group of his first black belts in the Midwest that eventually set up the Southwestern Taekwondo Association, which recently changed its name to American Karate and Taekwondo Organization. For me, this style is like a snapshot of what TKD was like before it started changing from the mid 60s onwards.

I know a little about Jhoon Rhee: he used to do ITF TKD back when it was called Korean Karate, and is known by some as the father of Taekwon-Do in America. I didn't know he created his own organization!

I was trained by the American Karate and Taekwondo Organisation (the AKaTO is not affiliated with either ITF or WTF) and it continues to practice the version of Taekwondo that Jhoon Rhee brought over from Korea. THere is a post somewhere on this blog that goes into the history a little more.

But another of my aims is to make this system accessible to everyone. It would be great to see more participation by other taekwondo practitioners. <br /><br />Thanks for the compliment.<br /><br />Regards,<br /><br />ColinColin Weehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01777513509370303056noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7261308875817560474.post-9832162340967135482009-10-02T01:41:43.069+08:002009-10-02T01:41:43.069+08:00Interesting blog you have here... cheersInteresting blog you have here... cheerssghttp://taekwondodigest.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7261308875817560474.post-84209710571685960692009-09-30T14:58:37.992+08:002009-09-30T14:58:37.992+08:00Thanks, Shaggy.
