Trained with him and his American entourage back in the 90s. I was with the TAGB. They were the forward looking organisation of the time... encouraged full contact and cross training with other styles.
Yep, that was him. Its amazing how in his younger years he explains how he was cocky, had a temper, and could beat anybody. I was the exact same way 20 years ago until my first day in Karate class (where I was humbled VERY quickly) lol
Legit dude and HUMBLE! Only so called master that straight up says when you get older, you don’t get better physically, you get worse. Legit breaker, especially doing back to back reverse punch cinder block breaks. Your hands have to be conditioned for that
@@GuroBillyBrown yes that would be interesting for sure, i recall reading somewhere many years ago that when cho 1st came to the us he had run ins with gangs and bikers etc so this is a guy that like bruce has used his training in streetfights, awesome martial artist didnt simon and philipe rhee train under him also ?
i respect grandmaster hee il cho so much what a amazing martial artist
A true Martial Artist and man of contrast. Awesome man indeed
He’s only true master. My favorite from 1980. 🥇🥇🥇
Was graded for my 1st Dan Black Belt from him in December 1986 in Ireland
He is really amazing.

Man, imagine that hitting you in the bread basket
i didnt realise he spoke such good english, i wonder if he ever met Bruce lee on his journey ?
I dont think so! I am going to try to go back to Hawwaii for his 80th next year and I will ask him! As a JKD instructorI am curious also..
I interviewed him once. He was quite eloquent in English.
