Tämähän vaikuttaa vallan mielenkiintoiselta, just yks suurmestari (Cutler) lisää ja heti perään ero ITF:stä, joutunee juttelemaan Sabonimin kanssa mistä nyt oikein tuulee (kun on FGMR:n oppilas).FGMR's Official Statement kirjoitti: It is after a lengthy period of thought and reflection that I have decided to resign from ITF. As a founding member and original pioneer this is not a decision I have made in haste.
As First Grandmaster my responsibilities have increased greatly since the passing of our Founder, Gen. Choi Hong Hi. It was his vision to see a unified Korea, and he believed that a unified Taekwon-do would help to achieve this. That is the meaning of Tong Il, the twenty fourth pattern of Taekwon-do. Therefore, to enable me to continue Gen. Choi’s work, I am dedicating the rest of my life to practice and teach Taekwon-do without any reference to organisations and politics, as I was an Instructor of one Taekwon-do before there were any world governing bodies. My objectives are to teach General Choi’s taekwon-do, and impart my knowledge and experience while I am still able.
Those of you who know me know that Taekwon-do has been my life, and I sincerely hope that you understand and are supportive of my decision. In the time I have left I want to ensure that we have re-established one solid Taekwon-do family. I always say “Life is short, Art is long”; our Founder has given us a wonderful gift, and it is our responsibility as martial artists to ensure its future as One Taekwon-do.
