1954

Choi Jung-hwa (born 20 May 1954) is the only son of General Choi Hong-hi, who is regarded as the founder of Taekwondo.

Choi Jung-hwa studied Taekwon-Do since the age of 7 under his father and many prominent high ranking Taekwon-Do Masters during their visits and stays with General Choi.

His claimed earliest recollections of training are around the time General Choi was appointed as Korea's Ambassador to Malaysia.

Choi spent his early childhood training on the lawn of the Embassy compound, as there were no dojangs established at that point.

He grew up in an environment surrounded by Taekwon-Do due to General Choi's schedule and work in spreading Taekwon-Do globally.

Choi Jung-hwa trained with many high-ranking instructors during this period.

1983

In 1983 Choi was convicted in Canada on charges that he conspired to assassinate the President of South Korea Chun Doo-hwan.

It was not until several years later that he returned to Canada to finish his prison term.

General Choi Hong-hi died less than 12 months later.
