Episode 180 - Grandmaster Jhoon Rhee

<p>Grandmaster Jhoon Rhee is a legend in the world of Taekwondo, some even refer to him as the Father of American Tae Kwon Do.</p> <h1>Grandmaster Jhoon Rhee - Episode 180</h1> <p>It's hard to be in the martial arts and not know who Jhoon Rhee is - though there are certainly some who don't. When you talk about Taekwondo's start in the USA, you're really talking about Grandmaster Rhee. A friend to Bruce Lee, he's a central figure in parts of Mr. <a href="http://www.whistlekickmartialartsradio.com/106-alex-gillis/">Alex Gillis</a>'s work, A Killing Art.</p> <p>There's something particularly special about speaking to someone who has been training as long as Grandmaster Rhee. While not in the best of health, he was willing to take time out of his day to speak with me about martial arts, philosophy, and his beliefs on the intersection of the two.</p> <p>Back on episode 14, we were lucky enough to speak with Bill "Superfoot" Wallace. Some of you asked for a transcript of the show, and with permission, we've gone ahead and done that.
