Remember reading about him when he was on the cover of Black Belt magazine. Now I know why he was featured.Pure hard core, traditional, authentic TKD from a true Master. So awesome to watch.
Superb teaching by this reknowned master. He puts much emphasis on steppin in for maximum impact. Very dynamic manner in his teaching tempo. I wd join his class if i were there. Unfortunately i live a million miles away in Malaysia.
My Grandmaster does this. Love my TKD club, been training there for over 20 years. I've been asked so many times if I wanna come to other clubs, but the answer is always the same. NO! Because of loyalty and respect towards my roots and Grandmaster
youre right,most of his students are very poor for black belts.The only good one is philip ameris and thats because he trained outside tkd.If you want to learn to use your hands you need to go to a boxing or kickboxing school.Its the same with their grappling,terrible because their instructors arent trained grapplers.you cant just take some techs from different arts and expect to integrate them into a traditional art unless they are taugth by competent coaches with yrs of experience in those arts.
@@scarred10 well its interesting he didn't have amazing looking students when he is really good and a taekwondo legend. I went to a boxing gym and mma gyms and bjj. Im a Taekwondon 4th dan master from kukkiwon. Now Kukkiwon is emphazing self defense stuff and punches.
@@MaharlikaAWA being good at any discipline doesnt make him a good coach,they demand entirely different sets of skillsets.You are not any kind of master,a 7th degree has always been the designated grade for a tkd master right back from the 1960s.Self defense STUFF is an outright joke unless you drill and spar with those techs gainst escalating resistance.
@@scarred10 wow dude very rude of you. Only ITF Taekwon-Do makes such a high dan rank as master and even they mostly don't know how to fight. I was in agreement with your first comment. So why insult? Kukkiwon Taekwondo has always had 4th dan as a master instructor rank. There are 3 classes of master. The original kwan leaders were 4th dan and 5th dans in Japanese Karate. So your statemejt it has to be 7th is false. Also I agree that being good and also being a coach is not the same. As masterful as Hee Il Cho is he must not have been a good trainer for his students. So I agree with you there. I went to a boxing gym specifically to train my punches and make sure as a martial artist I am conplete. One of the best things I ever did. I also had private sessions with a boxing coach later as well. Sparring boxing is one great style of cardio.
@@kealed8439 I am planning a trip to Maui soon. Hopefully this Christmas but more likely next Christmas. If at all possible I will try and find his dojang in Honolulu and if I am lucky enough...take a few photos. I met Cho hee IL Quan Jang nim at a Seattle tournament once and found his spirit ( ki ) to be very very powerful and quite undeniably noticeable. Suffice to say...he left a strong and lasting impression on me.
El Taekwondo tiene el dobok Blanco tanto el if como wtf en todas partes del mundo, de lo contrario es un invento. Que diría el General Choi si viera una indumentaria de color azul o rojo.
@@konpoy once again what do you want from a taekwondo school? Phenomenal punches ? It's the art of kicking. Taekwondo teaches you how to defeat a trained/untrained opponent in unarmed combat
@@sonkaldo it is absolutely not what was taught in the korean army,master cho changed his syllabus a lot from his ITF days.Any decent boxer would destroy chos black belts,ive seen it happen first hand on several occassions.And I was one of his black belts back in the 90s.
Thank for training me to get back in shape I need it bad not train for many years in the wrong world I know it is going to hard but I,m going to do my best keep track of every time i workout with you Sensi thank you
Most ITF Hyung, done by so-called world champs are awful on UA-cam. It is different after Grandmaster Choi passed. Missed watching Master Cho Jumping Trusting back kick back in the days... OLD SCHOOL rocks
I have a sad but funny taekwondo story. Back in the 1980's I went to join a taekwondo school then noticed the teachers daughter was so pretty and never saw a pretty korean girl before.... Heck it was my first time seeing a korean girl so I thought after I signed up I better do my best to impress the teacher and maybe even become close with the girl. But it was not meant to be. After I got my uniform which was on order because I had to wait 2 weeks for the uniform to come in. So there I was! My uniform finally came in and rushed over to the school to start. My heart sank to my stomach. entire student body were all vietnam vets with missing legs and arms. One of the handcicapped looked at my facial expression and said out loud not to be ashamed for sparing with a handicapped. But after doing things like at 5:00 I left and knew I would never impress the teachers daughter and I left the class. I refused to beat up a cripple. sad sad sad.
Wie schlecht die nach nem hohen Spinning Kick absetzten !!!!!! Voll schlecht, nicht stabil. Entwerde hinten oder vorne absetzten ! Aber nicht irgendwo seitlich :) :)
Abhi ke time me aisa training dene vaale sir log rahe nahi abhi sabhi taekwondo ya aur koi bhi martial arts class me sir log paise ke pichhe bhagne vale he
Not meaning to be negative but in a room full of black belts, I can’t see any of them chambering the turning kick. Everyone of them seems to raise the foot before the knee.
Excellent stretching but very sloppy execution of punches and kicks. Punches and kicks should come from the hip and not from shoulders and ankles...so disappointing. Punches should come straight from the hip and not in a circular motion...I can’t believe what I’m seeing. And since when there is take downs in Tae Kwon do and hitting below the belt!?! I used to read Hee Ill Cho’s book as a child 30 years ago when I was in Tae known do. I expected much better 😞
Of course it does,they just dont spar with them.hee il choi doesnt teach ITF or WTF.He isnt a good coach but very good him self,the students are useless.
Lmao, stay bad and egotistical. Clearing the mind allows your body to move without thinking. I've done it many times to defend myself. If you can't clear your mind and function you're too low of a level to comprehend it
its not about deep breathing which is indeed useless,its about paying attention only to your current goal in the moment.This has nothing to do with religion ,easter or western
I'm a Taekwondo-Hapkido Master. Other than Master Cho's ego and hair style, don't see anything interesting. Most of the techniques are not done correctly and some made up or off the cuff. This is not traditional Taekwondo. Nice studio though; love the floor.
Is respect part of your discipline? Making personal comments about a TKD masters hairstyle is something new to me in martial arts. This man still instructs 6 days a week at 80 years of age and doesn't disrespect other martial arts. Maybe that's something we could also learn from this man
Reminds me of classes when I studied under Master Oh in Fort Wayne in the 80’s. He really worked you.
Remember reading about him when he was on the cover of Black Belt magazine.

what is his name??
@@monnikim322
Hee Il Cho
great video need to train more Taekwonder for sure
was thi smaster in the best of the best on the korean team?
Yes. That was Hee Il Cho. You are correct.
@@GLASSGHOSTHUNTERS he has such a stand out voice! Thank you for the response
@@petera.dinovijr.4762 No problem! Yes, his voice is very distinct and powerful. His presence is incredible.
40년전...태권도장에서의 혹독했던 수련방식 그대로군요...
멋집니다...!!!
cool. is this choi kwang do
This was the Teacher in best of the best 1989 Phillip and Simon rhee brothers. This is real , real taekwondo
This is a real Martial Arts class. All instructors should take after this Korean Master.
I agree.
Intensity like this in a TKD dojang is so hard to find now a days. When you do find one they are usually really good.
Classic taekwondo Training, like 80s and 90s ,to hard for Today times
Saudade dessas boas aulas..
This kids today are extremely weak and soft. Can't take a hit a kick or anything.
It's a disgrace
Inspirational class!
This guy makes me want to be a better instructor.
The olympics ruined taekwondo
This came from real Taekwondo, General Choi's Taekwondo. Not WTF/olimpic taekwondo.
it had no effect at all outside the WTF which in my opinion isnt even tkd.
I second that the Olympics definitely ruined tkd
Original Taekwondo, Different from other Martial Arts, here i learn so many Different steps, really I love it
I cannot believe what i am seeing. This is as raw and real as taekwondo or any martial art can be taught. Beautiful.
This is the real deal , old school TKD
its actually not,its hee il chos addition of some kickboxing to tkd.
TaeKwonDo has turning punches(hooks)
Awesome old school taekwondo video. This master is putting these guys to work! :)
I grew up doing same kind of work out six days a week. 1970s early 1980s
You almost never find an instructor this good at any tkd school nowadays
Grandmaster Hee Il Cho!! OG master of TKD. Ke-op!!!
The Legend... Master Cho. Thank you for loading this up Achive Ceylon.
Superb teaching by this reknowned master. He puts much emphasis on steppin in for maximum impact. Very dynamic manner in his teaching tempo. I wd join his class if i were there. Unfortunately i live a million miles away in Malaysia.

I think you should do go and try to train in other gyms as well just to see how it goes
Sounds like a mcdojo to me
Guard is up? Take downs and hand techniques are practiced? What? Am I dreaming?
they might be practised but theyre terrible.

Best part KJN says 'little bit more faster' throws perfect roundhouse to tornado kick @ 40:42
I like the way he teaches he teach the way I was taught in the 70s 👍
I would rather choose this martial art over any other.. No words
40 years ... amazed at skills demanded & shared. Master. I am so encouraged & humbled. B.boemecke. sacto,CA.

TKD was awesome before it got watered down by WTF. WTF??
THANKSS
Very good old school taelwondo training.
Excellent training.
Their punching is very weak compared to a decent amateur boxer. If we are talking here full contact old school taekwondo black belt level this is sad.
Boxing is a sport. This is more like what korean soldiers were trained. The art of kiling.
Idk what you expect from a taekwondo school lol
The closest to the art of raw killing is things like muay baran, not this.

Is this a Joke 😳
Excellent Master Hee Il Cho. Real Taekwondo !
I like the way he teach. Most instructor now a days in taekwondo is lousy.
isto nao é taekwondo, é Choi Kwang Do
Isso é Taekwondo sim!
Awesome training class.
My former instructor has Hee Il Cho as one of his idols. And my former instructor is really good (WTF ).
Very good instuctor VERY BAD STUDENTS....MY MASTER HAS NEVER GIVE THEM THE BLACK BELT NEVER EVER
I hate the whole yes sir every time give an instruction he isn't directly asking an individual
Very very useful I wish i could see more video like this,, but i cant find
This is what TKD should be... not the new Comp. style.
TNKS FOR YOR VIDEO!!!
This traning is very important when we wanna be Amaster Kicker..
Tanto el Taekwondo como el Karate fueron deformados por la competencia deportiva.
Wie schlecht die nach nem hohen Spinning Kick absetzten !!!!!! Voll schlecht, nicht stabil. Entwerde hinten oder vorne absetzten ! Aber nicht irgendwo seitlich :) :)
Thanks for sharing this fantastic video on a real martial arts class being taught by a real master

Wow…bring back real TKD

can someone tell me what happen to the red Guys
Excellent training video!!
We need to Bring this Back
하나둘. 태권도는 한국어로 해야지
this is not taekwon-do ITF, may be WTF
Cho founded American Taekwondo. It's more ITF than WTF. He did like high kicks and flexibility, but he focused on the self defense aspect.
Good training
Dosent work on the streets.
Pure gold !
thats the way
The great Master Hee Il Cho.
Good taest
Not meaning to be negative but in a room full of black belts, I can’t see any of them chambering the turning kick. Everyone of them seems to raise the foot before the knee.

Of course it does,they just dont spar with them.hee il choi doesnt teach ITF or WTF.He isnt a good coach but very good him self,the students are useless.
the deep breathing clear the mind is eastern religion bs, stick to the kicking and punching
