Jhoon Rhee Taekwondo (not to be confused with Rhee Taekwon-Do) is the style of taekwondo developed by taekwondo pioneer Jhoon Rhee and overseen by the organization Jhoon Rhee International. When Rhee first moved to the United States in 1957 he taught martial arts at a club in San Antonio, Texas. There, he was visited by Choi Hong Hi who convinced Rhee to refer to his martial art as taekwondo, making Rhee the first taekwondo instructor residing in the U.S.
