Terminology
There are many different styles of Tae Kwon do, however, with the introduction of the Taeguk Patterns, most of the Kwans today resemble each other. Even philosophies amongst the different Kwans have become similar
Our style of Tae Kwon Do is based in Chung Do Kwan
Won Kook Yi - Founded Chung Do Kwan in 1941 (Chung Do Kwan was the first official recognized Kwan). He retired in 1945 and named his successor, Uhm Woon-Kyu. Grandmaster Uhm Woon-Kyu passed away in June, 2017. Grandmaster Hae Man Park is the current President of Chung Do Kwan and lives in Seoul, Korea.
Other recognized styles include JI DO KWAN, MOO DUK KWAN (Tang Soo Do), CHANG MOO KWAN, HAN MOO KWAN, OH DO KWAN & SONG MOO KWAN.
KUKKIWON - The World Tae Kwan Do Headquarters
Oh Hyun Deuk has been the President of the Kukkiwon since 2016. Grandmaster Bruce Chung's Tae Kwon Do is affiliated with the Kukkiwon and our Black Belts may receive this organization's Black Belt certification in addition to ours.
