HwaRang Fist Tower

Gen. Choi Hong-Hi who is the recognized principle founder of Taekwon-Do by the Encyclopedia Britannica was tasked with forming the ROK last Army division back in 1953 as the Korean Civil War was winding down. Gen. Choi nicknamed his 29th Infantry Division the "Fist Division" & was where he 1st taught Korean Martial Arts on a grand scale (Division wide).
The 29th Infantry "Fist" Division was formed on JeJu Island. This was where he met Col. Nam Tae-Hi and Sgt.1st Class Han Cha-Kyo. These 3, Gen. Choi, Lt. Nam & Sgt. Han were the 1st 3 Masters of Taekwon-Do. To honor the fighting spirit of the "Fist Division" instilled by training in the Martial Arts Gen. Choi had a monument erected with his calligraphy of the various courageous traits needed to have this spirit.
The location has become known as the "Womb" of Taekwon-Do, as this was where it all started! Hwa_rang Tul was the 1st pattern the 3 Original Masters of Taekwon-Do created. In this video Taekwon-Do students from around the world traveled to this historic site to train the "Original Taekwon-Do" & hopefully it will play a part in helping the Koreans on JeJu Island come to understand what an important iconic & historic site they have in their own backyard. It is destined to become a major tourist site for the millions of Taekwon-Do students from around the world!
