3. What is Renewal Taekwondo?
Renewal Taekwondo is South Korea’s martial art that was developed as a counter to the Northern ITF.
After capturing a North Korean agent during the 1960s, the South Korean government tested his abilities through a series of duels. The results were extreme, with the northern agent coming out victorious against 50 of the government’s renowned martial artists.
To counter this martial art, Jin Taejin developed Renewal Taekwondo that was based on WTF Taekwondo. It’s also later revealed that he created new and advanced skills purely for RE, rendering it the perfect match for Northern ITF.
Soon, South Korea had trained an entire army in RE Taekwondo; however, in an infiltration mission to North Korea, they all died, and Taejin was the only survivor. He was the sole user of this martial arts form until 20 years later when he taught Jin Mori RE Taekwondo.
Who is Taejin Jin?
Taejin Jin is Mori’s adoptive grandfather and the only master of Renewal Taekwondo and the strongest character in The God of High School. He was the captain of an elite group of soldiers trained in RE Taekwondo that were sent as spies to North Korea. However, he was the only one who survived after an unfortunate incident.
