A LETTER FROM GRAND MASTER CHUNG
Tae Kwon Do has been an important part of my life since my youth. The study ofTae Kwon Do, while instilling the student with confidence, enables them to enjoy the benefits of society without being absorbed or, overwhelmed by it. With proper guidance and training students can accomplish many aspects of their lives.

The disciplines of Tae Kwon Do are designed to make the students nonviolent, to inspire them with feelings of confidence, well being and to make their lives more meaningful. I welcome you.

Sincerely,

HO YUNG CHUNG
