| The core of skill is change, the essence of which is Continuous motion flowing like water according to the true and false. Full when close empty when far My distance slides farther from my opponent, Full when up, empty when down My tide flows downwards, And full when right, empty when left My balance leans to that empty spot. And then if I erase the wave patterns of change, every flow arrives at the sea of nihility and scatters. The remainder is endless completion neither finished nor unfinished. It belongs to each. Lee, Chang Hoo |

| NOTE: Dear Taekwon-Do practitioners, Please be advised that effective immediately, the tul of "Juche" will be known as it was originally created by our founder General Choi Hong Hi as "Kodang". Taekwon-Do, the Korean martial art was created by our founder to be free of religious and political ideologies. It was General Choi's wish to leave Taekwon-Do to humanity, free of any influence from religion, government and political influence accordingly, it was decided to revert the name to the original name chosen by General Choi. As we make this change, the ITF reaffirms its desire to remain independent and true to the teachings of our founder. ITF Administration |
