Blue Cottage Taekwon-Do was developed as a study tool
for learning enthusiasts studying ITF style Taekwon-Do.
This site contains a number of reference sources of ITF
Taekwon-Do information. It has been set up 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 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
