Baehr Taekwondo: Lesson 01-36: White Belt: Pattern - Ki-bon - 1 - Tutorial

Thanks for watching!
At Baehr Taekwondo, we teach both Taekwondo (Tae Kwon Do or Taekwon-do) and Hapkido (Hap Ki Do or Hapki-Do). The fusion of Taekwondo and Hapkido results in a seamless evolution of techniques that no other Taekwondo school benefits from.
My original instructor was Chung Won Oh, a 9th Dan black belt in Taekwondo and Hapkido from Korea. He attended the first ever International Taekwondo Federation's intructor seminar in 1974 in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. He was one of General Choi's original black belt students and became one of the first Taekwondo and Hapkido instructors in Canada, opening his southern Ontario schools beginning in 1973.
Our style and our uniforms may appear a bit different from what you're accustomed to seeing on UA-cam. Sometimes "different" is a very good thing. (We wear Hapkido uniforms because we like them better than the pull-over V-necks.) More importantly, we set ourselves apart from the other Taekwondo channels because we are very different.
We are the only channel on UA-cam that does original style Taekwondo! It isn't a stretch to say that there's us, and then there's everyone else, and everyone else is exactly the same, doing things according to one particular book. If you're ready to learn something new you've come to the right place.
Our style can only be found in the oldest Taekwondo books that were ever published, long before the Legacy guide/encyclopedia and video series came out. As a result, most instructors today have either forgotten that style, or never learned it to begin with.
Our roots trace back to the origins of the art. At Baehr Taekwondo, we teach the original, militarized version of ITF Taekwondo and Hapkido, evolved to make optimum use of every technique and apply it correctly in the most plausible and realistic manner.
By teaching Taekwondo and Hapkido together, students gain a solid grappling background (missing from Taekwondo), along with critical weapons training, breathing control exercises (also missing from Taekwondo), and additional foundation movements (missing from Taekwondo) to form a complete self defence system.
Baehr Taekwondo is the #1 Taekwondo and Hapkido school in Waterloo Region, specializing in private instruction. We offer in-person instruction, and training content for sale.
Whereas WTF (WT) style Taekwondo prepares students for Olympic sparring, we teach fight strategies and tactics that work in the real world. Our techniques are realistic, practical, functional, and optimal.
If you are interested in authentic, original, ITF style Taekwondo, the very style General Choi taught to soldiers in Korea, as taught by a grandmaster instructor, you are in the right place.
