ET AV DE FØRSTE intervjuer av master Cho.
Ble gjort våren 1996.
Enkle spørsmål vi i tkd-miljøet var opptatt av den gang..
Og likevel nå når dette skrives ned på nettsted, 40år senere;
Er mye like aktuellt!
Q-
Grandmaster, You created the TTU. Is this in concurrence to the wft or other Kwan?
GM-
Not at all. We are all innside the wtf. ttu are an org inside.
Q-
Do you feel something is wrong whit the existing organisasjons?
GM-
Not wrong. But i feel the spirit of TKD, suffered under the efforts to become an olymic disiplin.
Q- Are you against the fact , that tkd is an olympic discipline, and will be..?
GM-
No.
But we must be carefully not to loose the old values of our tkd by concentrating to much efforts to kyrurgi. Tkd are so much moore then tecknicks.
Q-
