General Information
The founder of Taekwon-Do is General Choi Hong Hi (9th Dan, Grandmaster). Taekwon-Do was founded on 11th April, 1955. The ITF was founded on 22nd March 1966. TKD was introduced into the UK by Grandmaster Rhee in 1967.
1st, 2nd, and 3rd Dan instructors are classed as Bo Sabum nim. 4th, 5th, and 6th Dan International instructors are classed as Sabum nim. 7th and 8th Dan are Masters, Sahyun nim. 9th Dan are Grandmasters, Sasung nim.
An OBVERSE technique is performed using the same arm as the leg that is most bent. A REVERSE technique is performed using the same arm as the leg that is least bent, thus the opposite of obverse. If the left leg is most bent then it is a left stance. If the right leg is most bent, then is it a right stance. Saju Jirugi and Saju Makgi are exercises, they are NOT patterns.
White belt signifies innocence as that of a beginning student who has no previous knowledge of the art.
