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.
Once i had a training of Master Hee Il Cho in Holland. His personal performance was than still on top level. I allways coppied his Kihaps while giving class. An inspiration for a life time. Training on Beast mode.
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
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
@@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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
Most ITF Hyung, done by so-called world champs are awful on TH-cam. It is different after Grandmaster Choi passed. Missed watching Master Cho Jumping Trusting back kick back in the days... OLD SCHOOL rocks
@@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.
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.
Wie schlecht die nach nem hohen Spinning Kick absetzten !!!!!! Voll schlecht, nicht stabil. Entwerde hinten oder vorne absetzten ! Aber nicht irgendwo seitlich :) :)
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

So awesome to watch.
what is his name??
@@monnikim322
Hee Il Cho
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.
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.
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
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.
The Legend... Master Cho. Thank you for loading this up Achive Ceylon.
Awesome old school taekwondo video. This master is putting these guys to work! :)
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)
Once i had a training of Master Hee Il Cho in Holland. His personal performance was than still on top level. I allways coppied his Kihaps while giving class. An inspiration for a life time. Training on Beast mode.
Inspirational class!
This guy makes me want to be a better instructor.
You almost never find an instructor this good at any tkd school nowadays
40 years ... amazed at skills demanded & shared. Master. I am so encouraged & humbled. B.boemecke. sacto,CA.
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.
Grandmaster Hee Il Cho!! OG master of TKD. Ke-op!!!
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
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
Reminds me of classes when I studied under Master Oh in Fort Wayne in the 80’s. He really worked you.
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
I grew up doing same kind of work out six days a week. 1970s early 1980s
Legendary icon of TKD.
great video need to train more Taekwonder for sure
This Master demonstrate the real way of hands and feet!!!!!!
Excellent Master Hee Il Cho. Real Taekwondo !
Wow…bring back real TKD
I would rather choose this martial art over any other.. No words
Osu from karate and very good training
I like the way he teaches he teach the way I was taught in the 70s 👍

Thanks for sharing this fantastic video on a real martial arts class being taught by a real master
Thank you !!! 👊☯️ Recuerdo cuando inicie en Taekwon Do a mediados de los 90 ...
Chief Grading Examiner of the Tae Kwon Do Association of Great Britain (TAGB) from 1983-1992. Sheer awesomeness.
Awesome instructor
Awesome training class.
Damn good training right here.
Excellent training.
you are lucky having a good trainer...guys
Very very useful I wish i could see more video like this,, but i cant find
El verdadero tae- kwon-do. asi eran las clases. cambio mucho hoy.
Very good old school taelwondo training.
Best part KJN says 'little bit more faster' throws perfect roundhouse to tornado kick @ 40:42
I trained here. Great memories.
When he screems I really get in the mood (abaffeah)
great training!!!!! its too bad i live in crete greece.
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
They ruined It and judo too
Guard is up? Take downs and hand techniques are practiced? What? Am I dreaming?
they might be practised but theyre terrible.
Old school tae kwon do .
*sigh* I want that this was the Taekwondo of now.
Me started Taekwon-Do 1992 after watching the movie The Best of The Best
Ye sabhi training hum le chuke he kyoki hamere master ke master ke master hi ll cho sir the muje abhi ye video dekha to 30 years purani yaad aa gaya
cool. is this choi kwang do

THANKSS
I like the way he teach. Most instructor now a days in taekwondo is lousy.
can someone tell me what happen to the red Guys
isto nao é taekwondo, é Choi Kwang Do
Isso é Taekwondo sim!
Taekwon!
He is good a the upper punches like boxing style but his students suck.
He trained boxing for a few years

GM Hee Il Cho...
My former instructor has Hee Il Cho as one of his idols. And my former instructor is really good (WTF ).
He should five them more resting time often , they are so Exhausted .
Most ITF Hyung, done by so-called world champs are awful on TH-cam. It is different after Grandmaster Choi passed. Missed watching Master Cho Jumping Trusting back kick back in the days... OLD SCHOOL rocks
TKD should be in Korean!
He was counting in korean
TKD was awesome before it got watered down by WTF. WTF??
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.

I hate the whole yes sir every time give an instruction he isn't directly asking an individual
13:24 preety stupid way of doing or checking stretching....they do same in ontario itf taekwondo realy stupid dangerous
Very good instuctor VERY BAD STUDENTS....MY MASTER HAS NEVER GIVE THEM THE BLACK BELT NEVER EVER
Is this a Joke 😳
Tanto el Taekwondo como el Karate fueron deformados por la competencia deportiva.
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.

하나둘. 태권도는 한국어로 해야지
Dosent work on the streets.
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.
the deep breathing clear the mind is eastern religion bs, stick to the kicking and punching
Hee il cho i9s a true legend of Taekwondo
