Grand Master Y.S. Chung, 9th Degree Black Belt

ATF Founder

Although newspaper clippings refer to him as the "tough, powerful ex-marine," Grand Master Chung, the guiding strength of the ATF, admits his most rewarding times in martial arts have come from teaching students and especially children the values and techniques of Taekwondo. "My goal is to help children build a strong character in a positive environment. Teaching discipline and coordination is a challenge I enjoy. As an instructor of Taekwondo, I'm constantly reminded that personal success comes from helping other reach their goals."
