Tae Kwon Do is the most widely practiced
martial art in the world today. It traces its ancestry to the
Korean martial art called Taekyon that was developed over 1000
years ago. Taekyon encompassed a barehanded and barefoot
fighting style with great emphasis on kicking technique.
The first and largest of the Korean martial arts academies
after the Japanese occupation of Korea was the Chung Do Kwan
school in Seoul, founded by Grandmaster Won Kuk Lee.
Our studio directly descends from the original Chung Do Kwan
school in Seoul, Korea through our grandteacher, Master Duk
Kyung Choi. Master Choi was the head instructor at the Chung
Do Kwan studio in Seoul for nine years and was many times a
Korean national Tae Kwon Do champion. Master Choi came to the
United States in 1969 and founded the Chung Do Kwan school in
Washington, D.C. We are proud to continue Master Choi's
tradition of martial arts instruction and to practice his
unsurpassed martial arts style.
