WTF’s Choue Chung Won thanks pioneers

The World Taekwondo Federation (WTF) doesn’t always acknowledge the pioneers who began the martial art in the 1950s and early 1960s, especially those from the International Taekwon-Do Federation (ITF), which was created long before the WTF. In this rare interview, however, WTF President Choue Chong-Won changes course, saying that the WTF has to acknowledge “those people who introduced Tae Kwon Do in difficult times…” He also refers to “Mr. Chang,” the North Korean ITF leader. This clip is from filmmaker Luan Van Le.
