syn generála Choi Hong Hi

Grandmaster Choi Jung Hwa was promoted to XI Degree on the 50th Anniversary of Taekwon-Do, April 11th 2005. Choi Jung Hwa was born on Cheju Island, Korea in 1954. His earliest recollections of training are around 6 years of age, shortly before General Choi's hectic schedule and diligent work in spreading Taekwon-Do globally. Constantly surrounded by visiting high- ranking instructors, Choi Jung Hwa trained with many instructors during this period. He served many years on the ITF Board, accompanying his Father throughout seminars across the world and later conducting many International Seminars in his own rite. Choi Jung Hwa has impressed those who he has trained alongside with his skill within the art, but more importantly, as a person. Choi Jung Hwa was democratically elected as President of the International Taekwon-Do Federation at the 2001 ITF congress. However, Choi Jung Hwa wished it so that his father remain the ITF president for a further 2 years. This was not to be, as our founder sadly passed away less than 12 months later. Choi Jung Hwa has since then as the direct heir of General Choi Hong Hi, continued his father's work, rightfully inheriting the title as President, of the international Taekwon-Do Federation, and in doing so continuing the teaching of true Taekwon-Do.

Choi Jung Hwa je v současné době prezidentem Mezinárodní federace Taekwon-Do své skupiny cvičenců, v poslední době k názvu federace občas přidávají slůvko "tradiční".
