Why didn't you credit General Choi Hong-Hi when you were reading the text of his written works that you used in the first two segments of your video?

Thank you very much for you comments it is much appreciated, and I will definitely take it on board for the next time i create something like that.

The Taekwondo forms come from…Karate. Yes, Japanese Karate. Stop making stories that only create confusion

[@andrewsgaragedojo]

Thank you for your comments it is much appreciated, but as i said in the video nobody really knows where the forms originate from.

How much if this is your own words and how much is pure reading of other peoples works? I recognised several texts that you are reading out loud wholesale without any credits given. You also include a false myth of the gradually more dirty belt (we can trace the grading system to the ranking of Go players and the white and black belts to swimming competitions in Japan. Both made its way to martial arts through Kano founder of Judo. This is history that are backed up by real sources, while the gradually more dirty myth is simply that; a myth. As for where the taekwondo forms came from I can give you dates and names. We know that the palgwae forms, the original Koryo and the rest of the black belt forms were made by a committee of people in 1965-1967. The same committee with the addition of representatives from Ji Do Kwan and Mu Duk Kwan developed the Taegeuk forms and a new Koryo Poomsae in the time period of 1967-1972. As for the Chang Hon forms (practised today in ITF) they were made by Choi Hong Hi and his top masters in the 1950s onward. 4 forms in 1959, 20 forms by 1965 and the rest were added in 1970s and 1980s. As for the roots of the forms again we know exactly where the Kwan founders learned from and that would be Shotokan Karate for most Taekwondo Kwan founders, Shito Ryu Karate for a few (primarily Ji Do Kwan) and a few Chinese forms (Ji Do Kwan and Mu Duk Kwan, Chang Mu Kwan). Pal Gwe means 8 Gwe by the way :-)
