Rhee Taekwondo is Australia’s biggest martial arts school with centres across the country. In 1970, World Master Chong Chul Rhee moved to Australia after serving in the Korean Special Forces and dedicated his life to training students in the art of Rhee Taekwon-Do. Master Rhee’s legacy lives on in Far North Queensland with expert instructors who he trained running centres across Cairns and the Tablelands.
Approximately 1300 years ago, during the Silla Dynasty in Korea an ancient form of unarmed combat – known these days as Tae-Kyon evolved. The ancient Art of Tae-Kyon is now widely dispersed throughout the world and known as various forms of Taekwon-Do.
The definition of Rhee Taekwon-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 Taekwon-Do practitioner uses well trained hands, arms and feet to effect the rapid immobilisation of any attacker.
Master Rhee is the official Founder of Taekwon-Do in Australia; the Master Instructor and-Chief Instructor for Australia and New Zealand, and was the President of the Taekwon-Do instructors Federation of Australia and New Zealand.
