Taekwondo Chung Do Kwan
USCDKA
In 1942, a gentleman by the name of Won Kuk Yi (pronounced Lee) founded a unique method of teaching TaeKwonDo to a group of students rather than “one on one.” He called his method of teaching “Chung Do Kwan,” which can be translated several ways, such as “The Great Blue Wave” and many other translations relating to man’s first source of power-”the force of water.” However, Senior Grand Master Sell prefers to use the translation “a mighty wave smashing against a rocky shore,” meaning that the power of water striking against any living or lifeless form on earth will win. Today, Chung Do Kwan is one of Korea ‘s strongest Tae Kwon Do training systems and Mr. Won Kuk Yi (1907-2003) has been given the title as a Great Great Grand Master and Founder, and is a National Treasure in South Korea. In 1967, Senior Grand Master Sell founded the American branch of the Tae Kwon Do Chung Do Kwan Association, with the emphasis on strict discipline, shifting of body weight at the point of impact, and many other teaching techniques that would inspire the American student. In a very short time he realized that he had created the beginning of a “scale model” Tae Kwon Do institute that would be responsible for setting high standards throughout the Eastern part of the United States .
