NEW RHEE TAEKWONDO BLACKBELTS

 

At some stage of kicking, punching, blocking, shouting, amid pain and endurance, hopefully sweating, Rhee Taekwondo practitioners aspire to wear the elusive Black Belt. Many have embarked on the journey to the black belt and more will do so in the future. It is a tough road but "nothing is impossible to a willing mind"
- (books of Han Dynasty).

 
The symbol of the black belt indicates the endless universe which opens to an unlimited horizon of knowledge. The black belt holder signifies a certain degree of maturity and proficiency in the art that has been reached, and is said to be impervious to darkness and fear. It does not however, represent the status of a tough guy, the best fighter in the class or one's ability to embark on bullying.

The symbol of the black belt is indicative of character rather than physical power. It has the ultimate values of a strong moral culture, spirit, perseverance, responsibility and the ability to face life with dignity.

Rhee Taekwondo black belts are trained to be martial art practitioners and not sportsmen/women. That is where the difference lies.


Our New Black Belts Promoted by Master Rhee in 2009

Daniel Nguyen Wynnvale Gym Junior Black Belt


To obtain my junior black belt is something I will remember for the rest of my life.It was a great thrill to be graded by World Master Rhee and to receive this honour. I would like to thank my Instructors and my mum and dad for their support.

When I started training nearly 3 years ago, I had no idea of the profound effect Rhee Taekwondo would have on my life. Back then the thought of becoming a black belt was only a dream.
I am so fortunate to have had the most wonderful instructors who have taught me so much, not only about Rhee Taekwondo but also about myself, and what can be achieved with hard work, perseverance and determination.
I have been constantly inspired and motivated by them as I have by the other students of our art.
It has been very special for me to have shared this amazing experience with my 2 children who themselves are black belts in Rhee Taekwondo.
I have been challenged physically and mentally in ways I did not ever think I could overcome, but the excellent training I received, the support of my Instructors and from all within Rhee Taekwondo prepared me well.

It is with great pride and sense of achievement that I can now say; I am a Black Belt in Rhee Taekwondo.

Steve Carter WynnVale Gym Black Belt


When I first started Rhee Taekwondo it was an activity to share with my daughter and improve my fitness . I had no thoughts of becoming a black belt. However, as I progressed through the belts with her and saw other students receive their black belt I began to dream. After my daughter received her black belt it fuelled my ambition to obtain one of my own.

Whilst we are awarded black belts as individuals, achieving a black belt is a team effort. My instructors Regional Instructor Ivan Berry and Instructor Leslie Loft and my fellow students have all helped me along the way. To be able to share my achievement with them was especially gratifying.

As I reflect now I sometimes still don’t believe that I am a black belt!

Rhee Taekwondo reinforces that with hard work and determination you can reach and exceed your own goals.
