Most of these films have been released under more than one title, and while we've done our best to use the one that's most likely to be familiar, that doesn't guarantee you aren't trying to find Crippled Avengers and don't know we've got it as The Return of the 5 Deadly Venoms. And so, we've gathered as many alternative titles as we can find, including their original language title(s), and arranged them in alphabetical order in this index to help you out.

  • Grandmaster Florindo and His Place in the History of Argentine Taekwon-Do
    Grandmaster Florindo and his Place in the History of Argentine Taekwon-Do By Master Manuel Adrogué Originally published in Totally TaeKwonDo magazine 108th issue Grandmaster Pedro Florindo (68), a celebrated martial arts personality, died in his hometown of Buenos Aires, Argentina on January 13, 2018. He was a rare example of an early champion, an innovative teacher of traditional Taekwondo, and a successful coach who was well known at international circles. Florindo came from a working class environment, and as a teenager had some basic knowledge of boxing, quite useful in his environment. At 18, he started learning Korean Karate under Lee Kae Won for some months until mandatory military service interrupted his training. Upon its completion, he went back to the dojang (one of the few martial arts centers in Northern Buenos Aires) to find that a new instructor was in charge. It was Lee, Chong Seo, an impressive 6th Dan in Moo Duk Kwan and Hapkido black belt. In Korea, Lee had learnt from Hong Chong-Soo, with frequent access to Founder Hwang Kee). Out of respect to Master Kim Han Chang, a 5th Dan who was the first and seniormost instructor in Argentina, Lee concealed his true rank saying he was 5th to whoever asked him. Lee was an impressive kicker, acrobatic and precise. At a time when Taekwon-Do was very similar to Japanese Karate, Lee’s spinning kicks were a clear example of what the Korean art was about. There are many stories of his unusual skills. In one occasion, when sparring with a student, he jumped forward straight over his opponent’s head lightly “walking” on his shoulder, and swiftly kicking him in the middle of the shoulder blades, to be brutally expelled into a wall without understanding what had happened.

  • The Persons and Events That Shaped Taekwondo in Argentina by Manuel E
    The persons and events that shaped Taekwondo in Argentina By Manuel E. Adrogué April 2008 Photographs are mostly courtesy of Miguel Hladilo Taekwondo is the most popular martial art in Argentina. During the mid 1980s, when national population reached aprox. 30 million, Taekwondo population peaked with 60,000 students and instructors. The total number of people that have practiced Taekwondo in Argentina has been estimated in 500,000. An international powerhouse in ITF style, Argentina has generated more than 20 world champions in sparring, forms and breaking. This is both an account of the most relevant individuals and events in Argentine Taekwondo, as well as an attempt to place them within the context of a forty-year tradition now firmly rooted in the lower part of South America. The names in bold indicate a list of the 25 persons considered to be most representative of Argentine Taekwondo, as listed at the end of this report. First Part: The Korean Masters The official date of introduction of Taekwondo in Argentina is November 1967. It was then that Kim Han-Chang (29), Choi Nam-Sung (31) and Chung Kwang-Duk (17) arrived and settled in Buenos Aires after two months on board of a Dutch cargo ship. At that time there were less than 1,000 Korean nationals in Buenos Aires –today the community exceeds 20,000-. One day Judo instructor Norberto Aspera stopped at a gas station, and a Korean employee working there saw his folded uniform at the back seat and asked about it. He was invited to the Judo class, which he attended along with fellow countrymen Choi and Chung.
