OUR BEGINNINGS WERE HUMBLE
Jong Kim enlisted in to the Korean army at age 18 with strong intentions of patriotism.
As a competitor in the martial arts world, crowned heavy weight Asian champion in Asia, he competed for several years.
This ultimately caught the the attention of General Choi Hong Hi (the founder of TKD) in 1955.
Jong Kim (under General Choi's Guidance) was involved with the World Demonstration Team along
side (C.K. Choi) because Taekwondo was a brand new form that was unknown to the world.
His efforts led to world promotion of the art in different countries.
