grand master hyong
A former nationally ranked Tae Kwon Do athlete in South Korea, Grand Master Namsoo Hyong began to reevaluate his philosophy and teaching style shortly after becoming the head of his own academy. He transformed his practice from a competitive orientation into a cooperative one that emphasizes individual self-improvement. Grand Master Hyong saw that competition was an inadequate means of achieving the goals of martial arts practice: physical, psychological and philosophical development. He thus established Moo Do Tae Kwon Do, which translates as the art of Tae Kwon Do, as opposed to approaching Tae Kwon Do as a sport. In his network of affiliated academies across Central Illinois, Grand Master Hyong continues to develop and teach this unique approach.
