Grand Master Jhoon Rhee, age 69, is the “father” of Tae Kwon Do in the United States, where there are now 5,000,000 active participants (Korea Herald). Master Rhee has twice been featured in Parade Magazine (circulation 50,000,000) including the cover feature with photo on March 16, 1997. In August 1999 he was awarded the prestigious lifetime achievement award by Martial Arts Professional and described as “a living embodiment of the benefits of the martial arts way of life.” Master Rhee designed and introduced safety gear into martial arts, which is credited with broadening the sport and exercise activity into a mass market appeal. He has been teaching martial arts in the Congressional Gym to Members of the U.S. Congress for 34 years, 3 days a week, and does 1,000 push-ups a day, 500 sit-ups, breathing exercises and a daily fitness program called RheeShape: The Balanced Life Program. He introduced Tae Kwon Do to the former Soviet Union in 1991 and has returned 18 times to teach and promote the sport, oversee the development of Jhoon Rhee Tae Kwon Do Schools, and give motivational speeches. The Jhoon Rhee USO Show entertained U.S. troops in South Korea and visited Japan in the summer 1999, in a manner similar to the Bob Hope USO Shows of the past. Master Rhee travels regularly throughout the U.S., Canada, and the C.I.S., giving seminars to martial arts studio owners and other professionals. He is also an accomplished musician, performing classical music on the harmonica.
