Taekwondo Jungdokwan...Stepping the Right Way

"I am an honorable man without shame", is the motto of Jungdokwan’s founder Lee Yong-woo. It was with this spirit that Grandmaster Lee has trained, ran his school and lived his life.
Lee Yong-woo began his martial arts practice in the Chungdokwan style before the Korean War. It was recorded that Grandmaster Yun Byung-in who was the founder of YMCA Kwonbup Bu held a large demonstration at the YMCA in 1949. That the young Lee was chosen to demonstrate with Son Duk-sung, the 2nd president of and Uhm Woon-kyu the 3rd president of Chungdokwan.

In 1954 after the Korean War, Lee founded his Jungdokwan dojung. Many of the schools that were offshoots of the five main Kwan’s developed because of disagreements among the early senior students and instructors. Jungdokwan was not like this.
