Passing of a giant

Post by student »

Lee Won Kook (a/k/a Won Kook Lee) Kwangjanim, the founder and original Grandmaster of the Blue Wave School (Chung Do Kwan), the first of the 9 schools that became Tae Kwon Do, passed on 2 February, 2003.

We shall not see his like again.

Good bye, my Master's Master.

Passing of a Giant

Post by chef »

When someone that has had so much influence and has touched so many lives passes, it is a sad day. As he passes he leaves behind a legacy in the people he has taught. The mantle passes on through his student and his student's student.

May you continue in this wonderful sharing of knowledge and continue his path, and follow in his footsteps, Murray.

God bless,

Vicki

It is a sad day when a great martial arts master leaves his spot on this earth, probably never able to be filled.

True masters are aging and are leaving us one-by-one, shrinking the fold and not to be replaced. My best wishes are with you today, and I only apologize for not being here sooner.

Take care
Always with an even keel.

Around "Mr. Jefferson's University," the secret societies leave their marks in prominent locations. One of them, Z, stands for the Greek symbol which - among other things - means "He lives on!"

Great men never die; their essence is with us forever.
