30 years martial arts experience

20 years teaching experience

"I had the pleasure of teaching at the same Dojang for various years with Master Kim and Master Park. This is the most dynamic, committed, and dedicated martial arts couple that I have meet in my 35 years training and teaching the martial arts. Master Kim a warrior and philosopher is one of the few Hapkido masters that have been thoroughly trained in both original lines of Choi Yong Sul (the father of Hapkido) and Ji Han Jae (the founder of Hapkido) Hapkido. He is a student of both GM Hwang Deok-Kyoo (first student of the founder of hapkido), and GM Lim Hyun Soo (longest standing disciple of the father of Hapkido). As a result Master Kim’s understanding of the art of Hapkido and his overall implementation of the art of Hapkido is like no other. A Yong In University graduate he shows the same level of control and advance skills in an array of Korean native martial arts to include Taekwondo, Yudo and Yongmoodo. Master Park is a wonderful instructor she taught for several years my two daughters. After several years since they have not train with her they still cherish their times and memories with her and speak regularly about things that she taught them. My eldest daughter now a Taekwondo instructor models her teaching style after her beloved teacher Master Park. Master Park is the most patient martial arts instructor I have ever met as a result her ability to teach children is incredible and most effective. A graduate of the prestigious Sung-shin University in Korea and former sparing team captain she is one of the most skilled female taekwondo competitors I have meet. If you have the opportunity to train with this wonderful martial art couple you should not hesitate as it is a unique training opportunity and you will be in for one of the bets experiences of your life." 

 

-Dr. Ramfis L. Marquez-
