World Master Chong Chul Rhee
World Master Chong Chul Rhee is the founder and Father of Tae Kwon Do in Australia and the head of the Rhee Tae Kwon Do Organisation. He is the Master Instructor and Chief Instructor for Australia and New Zealand. Master Rhee is one of the original twelve Masters of Tae Kwon Do and the President of the Tae Kwon Do Instructors’ Federation of Australia and New Zealand.
Master Rhee acquired vast international experience before coming to Australia. He was a leading instructor of the Korean Marines, Police Force, students at universities and colleges, and members of the public. Master Rhee developed and taught special unarmed combat methods to the Marine Commandos, the elite Commandos’ underwater demolition team, Marine Brigade Headquarters and Marine 2nd Infantry Divisions.
The Korean Marines earned a reputation as the world’s most feared and courageous troops. Nicknamed ‘The Demon Hunter Marines”, they were easily recognised on the battle fields and were the most disciplined, daring and highly efficient elite units of the armed forces.
Master Chong Chul Rhee then spent some years in South East Asia – including Malaysia, Singapore, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Brunei and other countries – spreading the Art of Tae Kwon Do. Tae Kwon Do continues to grow and thrive in these countries today, as many thousands of students reap the benefits of Master Rhee’s tireless dedication to the Art. Since introducing the Art of Tae Kwon Do in Australia, World Master Rhee has led hundreds of demonstrations throughout the nation. He has demonstrated the Art at universities, colleges, Air Force bases, Army and Police academies, and to the public. He has been featured in countless newspaper and magazine articles and brought the spectacular Art of Rhee Tae Kwon Do to millions of television viewers.
Through unending hard work and perseverance, World Master Rhee has established a very strong foundation for the art of Rhee Tae Kwon Do with the assistance of a massive network of black belt instructors. World Master Rhee’s wealth of technical and teaching experience combined with his highly skilled techniques, have contributed substantially to Rhee Tae Kwon Do’s dynamic expansion throughout Australia.
