"What you've produced is among the top five 'must have' items in the world of ITF Taekwon-Do. It is a beautiful, and beautifully done, record of important ITF history that, for the most part, is only handed down through stories. It is already one of my most cherished TKD items. I would definitely describe this as something every ITF practitioner, past and present, must have."



Mr Ed Newcomer

See the famous 1973 ITF Demonstration Team performing in Germany, featuring Masters: Rhee Ki Ha, Kong Young Il, Park Jong Soo, Pak Sun Jae and Choi Chang Keun - all 7th degree black belts. There is also never before seen film of the Second ITF World Champs held in Oklahoma City (1978).
