Grand Master Chung has been bestowed a 10th degree Black Belt in
the Worlds Martial Arts Counsil ranking for Kyuk Ki Do, and is one
of the few Grand Masters to hold simultaneous Grand Master rankings
in Judo, Tae Kwon Do, and Kyuk Ki Do.
Through dedication and discipline, which he developed early in life,
he has accomplished all the goals he has set for himself. Due to
his modesty, the honors, awards, and numerous citations he has recieved,
Master Chung has created a following of students who seek to model
their lives after his example.
Students who have trained under him have learned more than how to
punch and kick. They have recieved training by his good example
in self-control, patience, discipline, and confidence.
