Grandmaster George Vitale

Grandmaster Vitaleʼs travel has taken him to over 80 nations of the world. After becoming the first American to earn an academic Doctorate Degree from north Korea, demands for him to present his research in south Korea and elsewhere began to emerge.

Nam Suk Lee The House of Chang Moo Kwant 

Supreme Grandmaster Nam Suk Lee thought it best to “combine your energy, keep your balance, know when to strike—how hard and how fast—moving forward with focus while being keenly aware of your surroundings, and—most of all—be flexible, adaptable, in mind, body, and spirit, without changing your primary objective . . . and don’t forget to breathe along the way.”

Grandmaster Jon Wiedenman Passing the Legacy Forward

Reflecting on almost 60 years in the martial arts, I am filled with joy, gratitude, optimism, and amazement. I don’t think I ever sought the “meaning of life,” to the contrary, I sought to “give life meaning”; moreover, to share this with others.

My personal aspiration is to continue to learn from and with others, and to try in my own way to be an inspiration for and be inspired by other “seekers.” In addition, I hope to see Taekwondo offering a diverse structure, system, and path for all practitioners to do so.
