The Legacy of Chun Kuhn Do: A Global Martial Arts Movement

Supreme Grandmaster Kim Bok Man, one of the earliest pioneers of military Taekwondo, founded the World Chun Kuhn Do Federation in 2002 in the United States to promote and teach the traditional martial art he has continuously developed and refined since 1941. Drawing on his extensive experience in both the military and martial arts, Supreme Grandmaster Kim sought to create a federation that not only preserved the traditional values of Taekwondo but also adapted them to meet the needs of modern practitioners. Under his leadership, the World Chun Kuhn Do Federation has become a global platform for martial artists to study and practice Taekwondo in its most authentic form, with an emphasis on discipline, respect, and personal development. Through its worldwide network of schools and instructors, the Federation ensures that the teachings of Supreme Grandmaster Kim continue to inspire and elevate martial artists across generations and borders.
