Om generaal Choi Hong Hi te eren, heeft Scott Downey (VI Dan - ITF Canada) een lied geschreven waarin hij de generaal bedankt voor wat hij heeft betekent voor hem, maar ook voor velen andere sporters over de hele wereld. Het lied geeft een korte beschrijving van het leven van de generaal en hoe het Taekwon-do is ontstaan. Generaal Choi leefde van 09-11-1918 tot 15-06-2002, maar leeft nog steeds in de harten van de leden van de Nederlandse Taekwon-do Associatie (NTA).

He trained all his soldiers in the art of Tang Soo, but the techniques were different, so that name would not do. So he created a committee, to name his new Martial Art, of which prominent citizens would be a part.

  
     
 
 
     
 

And on April 11th, 1955, the name "TaeKwon-Do" was given its life. The name was submitted, by General Choi 'cause the name resembled "TaeKyon" that he learned as a boy.

"Tae" means to kick, "Kwon" means to punch, "Do" is the art that we all love so much. Based on scientific movement and Asian philosophy, General Choi leaves the world his "Legacy".

 
     
 
 
     
 

And through the International TaeKwon-Do Federation, "True" TaeKwon-Do was spread to every nation. And although he had many enemies along the way, the "little giant" General perseveres to this day.
