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

Sage located on each page to

MEET THE SAGE
He who asks is a fool for five minutes, but he who does not ask remains a fool forever.
A sage is skilled at helping people
without excluding anyone.
A sage is skilled at saving things
without wasting anything.
This is traditional wisdom.
