GRAND MASTER

WON KAP CHUNG

Grand Master Won Kap Chung began his study of Taekwondo  as a shy boy of 10 years old in Korea. His instructor was Grand Master Sung Ook Choi. 

 

By the time he had left Korea in 1977, he had developed into a National Champion. Shortly after Master Chung settled in Canada, he introduced Taekwondo to New Brunswick and Eastern Quebec.
