Jidokwan-The Hose of Wisdom
Jidokwan-The House of Wisdom

October 20, 2015– Jidokwan is one of the original nine schools of the modern Korean martial arts that became Taekwondo and was founded in what is now South Korea at the end of World War II. Its name translates as “School of Wisdom”. The Jidokwan in Korea still exists today. It functions as a social fraternal order.  Jidokwan supports and endorses the Kukkiwon method of Taekwondo, and supports the WTF.

Are you a practitioner of Jidokwan Style of TKD?  Tae Kwon Do Life Magazine is preparing a story on the 70th Anniversary of Jidokwon. We would love memories, stories, and photographs to celebrate this founding style. WE WANT TO HEAR FROM YOU:
