-- Song Moo Kwan History and Lineage
Ro, byung jik The Founder of song moo kwan & Father of Modern Taekwondo
The time of Pioneers
The group of students taught directly by Founder Ro became some of the most successful and prestigious First Generation students. As Pioneers, they created outstanding schools, trained world champion competitors, and have left legacies through their students. Below is a list of Song Moo Kwan Pioneers that are featured within this site. Please note we are still looking for more of their history and more about their students (4th Dan and higher). All to have space here to record their journey. This is in NO way a complete list.
