Jan 6, 2007 - Wow what a great man. I never got the chance to be taught by him either. I did however go to a seminar by his son Choi Jung Hwa when he was in Cork in March 2006. That was really cool.

Jan 17, 2007 - hey i did get to train with the general and it was good to do so but so many people wanted to train with him to see how good he was but this was the mistake you had to show him how good you were that was the best for him.myself and my brother also visited his son in canada about12 yrs ago but jung hwa forgot his tuls but was amazing

Sep 5, 2007 - Bless him! He's one of the greatest men ever! Everyone who studies Taekwon-Do should be grateful and should always show respect to General Choi. It's such a shame I started Taekwon-Do in 2003 though. Rest In Piece General Choi Hong Hi.Like Grandmaster Rhee said a few days ago, he is up in heaven watching us. (During the black belt area seminar and grading.)

Feb 24, 2008 - yes as the idea is that your feet hand and breath all finish at the same time.

StringsCrusader Says:

Oct 6, 2008 - Yeap. The wave is the most powerful thing in nature. Uses the momentum of your body.

May 20, 2010 - He was in his late 60's or 70's i believe and man....this guy was still pretty powerful

k2kkoos Says:

Aug 6, 2010 - simply said yes. You start the move at a low position , you raise (naturally as your legs stretch during stepping forward), and you lower into the next stance, reaching the lowest point again at the moment your punch is fully executed (or whatever technique you employ, block, punch, stab etc etc)All these elements will have to flow naturally, not stiff and robotic, but a seamless wave (dont' forget the breathing!!) . This will result in the most power etc.

May 11, 2011 - how old was he, when he trained under Gichin Funakoshi?
