General Choi Hong Hi


Final Words

Not having the pleasure of ever meeting General Choi Hong Hi myself but having read and heard so many stories about him, he resides in my mind as a man who was as dedicated as any in getting the mission at hand completed. Whether that was commanding a great army or developing an art such as Taekwon-do his own words reign true “Always finish what you begin, be it large or small”. I often wonder what it would of been like to of started ITF Taekwon-do much earlier as I may of had the opportunity to get a glimpse of the great General, yet it is enough for me to read and try to follow his words of wisdom on life and especially Taekwon-do.
