Dear Sir,

I am a student of Taekwon-Do as created by General Choi Hong Hi! I firmly understand your reasoning for searching deaper into the martial arts!

Myself, I have studied the Chang Hon Hyungs for most of my life. However, being a student of a martial art, I cannot overlook the other arts that have either contributed to or were derived from the art of Chang Hon TKD!

I have found that the Pal-Gwe hyungs are extremely similar to the Pyong Ahn pattens (Heian in Karate-Do). Also, having almost 13 years of training in the Chang Hon patterns, I have begun to study some of the other Okinawan/Japanese katas (of which the TKD hyungs derived)!

The history of Taekwon-Do is more a matter of perception than that of facts. The facts are there, but the truth lies in your perception of what determines creation of the art!

Please stay in touch w/ me as I am interested in the same things (from the other angle)...

TAEKWON! (or Pil Sung!)
