 In most instances of imitation, the imitator simply mimics the original without any change. Usually, this does not cause any harm provided the one who imitates does not change the original (in this case Taekwon-Do) by unproven additional techniques, interpretations, philosophy, terminology or systems and methods. In most instances of imitation, the imitator simply mimics the original without any change.

-General Choi Hong Hi has been creating, developing the art of Taekwon-Do since early 1946, in what is now known as the Republic of Korea. It is true that General Choi was born in Korea and at the time of developing and introducing Taekwon-Do he resided there. It is also true that the basis of Taekwon-Do goes back to the ancient past of Korea, but to call Taekwon-Do purely Korean is somewhat like one country claiming to have introduced fire.+General Choi Hong Hi created, developed, and introduced the art of Taekwon-Do in ((original text read: "has been creating, developing the art of Taekwon-Do since early "))1946, in what is now known as the Republic of South((added per condensed encyclopedia pg 10)) Korea.

Only after exhaustive research and proof of improvement and effectiveness is a change to the original approved and incorporated within the overall art of Taekwon-Do.+The true Taekwon-Do of General Choi knows no boundaries of countries; it is a universal art of self-defense.
