Nam Tae-Hi & Alex Gillis talk TKD

In Dallas, USA, in 2011, I spoke to one of Tae Kwon Do’s creators from the 1950s, Nam Tae-Hi, and his son, Chris Nam, who interpreted. I was taking notes for a revision of my book, A Killing Art: The Untold History of Tae Kwon Do. Grandmaster Nam helped to create TKD and was later a leader in both the International Taekwon-Do Federation (ITF) and World Taekwondo Federation (WTF), but his contribution pre-dated both of those, and he worked on the ITF much more.
