A Taekwondo student of mine showed me a book from the local Surrey High School Library the other day.  Surprisingly, the student turned to chapter about history of Taekwondo Original members and there was my father, Jong Chan Kim!  I am so humbled to be the Taekwondo son of a World Famous father who is larger than life in the area of Taekwondo in Surrey and Delta! I thought this was so cool!

My father was instrumental to spreading and teaching taekwondo across North America, South America, South-East Asia, Europe, and Australia!

THIS BOOK can be found on Amazon.ca
