Hee Il Cho Breaking Promo

[@jason75]

My master trained with him, back in korea, during the Korean war in the 50s

[@true2u1970]

i think Hee ill Cho is the greatest. I got a book of him when i was 14. Im 45 now-- and hes still my hero and an inspiration to martial art greatness.

[@irmasil3]

Paul Peterson Hee il cho is one of the greatest. Unfortunately though I am old enough to have seen the greatest in front of me , thats Rhee Ki Ha, Park Jong Soo and Kwon jae Kwa. Very close in Second place Park jung Tae and C.K. Choi. These guys are literally human weapons.......

[@ibrahimshamoon]

What do think abort Kwon Hwardo wich is best Hee Ill or Kwon

[@themegaislandman]

@@irmasil3 Correction on that one Grandmaster. His name is Kwon Jae Hwa, not Kwa. I know this because my dad was his best student out of the Ft. Lauderdale TKD Center back in the 70's He's got pictures with Master Kwon awarding him his black belt. Dad was also his most trusted student. Like you said....Human weapon. A killer that could easily dispatch multiple opponents for good. Salute!

@@themegaislandman Yup, sorry for the typo, didn't noticed it. I have some old vintage photos of K J Hwa (from the 70s I think) from his original Gym in Greece when he attended 3-4 times per year for examinations. My previous master, the late SM Kesoglou was a great student of his and he always had some very fascinating stories to share as well :) When I met the guy in the 90s he was (still is now almost 80 yo now..) such a power to behold. His breaking abilities were out of this world, and everybody in the seminars were just gathering the pieces of the stones... :) I remember SM Kesoglou saying to me that they were going together to the riverside to pick up stones and every stone Hwa was throwing away as an "easy break", he would pick it up for practice :)

[@themegaislandman]

@@irmasil3 Wow, I didn't know that he had a dojang in Greece. My dad told me that Sensei Kwon offered to bring him to Germany and advance his martial science career. He declined because it was around the time that I was born (1978). The Grandmaster definately has the spirit of the Samurai and Hwa Rang monks. It's amazing what you said regarding Mr. Kwon and his abilities to break any stones that were selected from the seashore and riveside. My dad told me of very similar events about him in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida. What a great honor you both had in being able to learn and interact with such a humble, wise, and mighty man. Salute to you and the people of Greece. You have much to be proud of their great and illustrious history.

This man was tough as nails. I was lucky to actually take lessons from him and then continued with his first group of black belts in Providence RI back in the early 70s. I watched him kick the stuffing out of boxing punching bags.

[@MaharlikaAWA]

+gk10002000 He is still alive right?

[@gk10002000]

I read that he had heart surgery a few years ago. Living in Hawaii now I think

[@MaharlikaAWA]

@@katelynyoo8734 wow awsome! What's it like training under him?

[@MaharlikaAWA]

@@katelynyoo8734 how long have you trained?

[@MaharlikaAWA]

@@katelynyoo8734 What belt are you and are you becoming a good fighter?

[@paulpeterson1040]

Master Cho. The greatest!!

[@gk10002000]

And I personally watched him smash through three solid bricks with no spaces between them.

[@chucknorris9653]

That’s insane - I have never seen that done with no spacers

[@marcelinhotkd]

Legend!! #TKD

[@Smittyschannel]

Curious to know how the lady's arms were after those kicks

[@sparky427]

just fine, she was a student and could take it. :)

[@AnandJohnSimon]

I’m certain if I had trained earlier and under a Korean like Master Cho I’d be able to do all this.

That explosion at 1:54

[@abdelilahkhleeh1425]

God..god..god..😊😊😊😊

[@golforfishing]

there's no way that's real concrete bricks, he would break his hand

[@garycleveland6410]

golforfishing They are real.

[@imankhan1999]

Most definitely he'd won't break his hands. The Taekwon-Do practitioner has to study and practice well enough to break cement bricks with ease; due to technique, speed, accuracy etc

[@1TEAMSHELBY]

its real I was there!

[@xXxtoodeeepxXx]

They're real alright. This is what conditioned hands and feet look like, and this is what they can do when you condition them to the level he was at. If he hadn't trained and conditioned for years, it would be a different story. The average Joe would easily break a knuckle or even multiple knuckle if they tried it

[@jorgeluiscontrerassotomayo870]

Pendejo es real!!
