Blue Cottage Taekwon-Do was developed as a study
tool for enthusiasts studying ITF style Taekwon-Do.
This site contains a number of reference sources of
ITF Taekwon-Do information. It exists to help
promote learning and understanding of Taekwon-Do.
At Blue Cottage Taekwon-Do our mission is to
maintain the integrity and the original concepts that
our founder General Choi Hong Hi intended. Our
name is derived from the founder of Taekwon-Do’s
pen name, Chang Huhn meaning Blue Cottage. Some
interpret it as a reflection of Gen. Choi's heart, his
burden, his vision and his ideology. This website is a
compilation of research, donations and dedication to
the art. Taekwon-Do is a living, ever-evolving system
of self-defense, artistry and moral development.
Therefor this site will also be ever-evolving. We are a
family of members dedicated to learning and growing.
Our goal and purpose at Blue Cottage Taekwon-Do is
to educate the Taekwon-Do aficionado with the most
accurate information possible to improve the
students intellectual well-being. The information
contained within this website is intended for
educational value only and is not intended to replace
the instruction of a qualified instructor. In the
Contact Us section, we welcome your opinions of this
sight and you may send in questions on history,
technique or any other aspect of Taekwon-Do. Or you
can simply ask the Sage located on each page to
direct you to the questions table. The answers to your
questions will be researched thoroughly and sent to
you ASAP. We sincerely hope that you find this
website informative and helpful.
