Happy 78th Anniversary World Moo Duk Kwan/ Happy Birthday Chang Shi Ja Hwang Kee

Nov 9th 2023 marks the 78th Anniversary of the Moo Duk Kwan, started by our Chang Shi Ja Hwang Kee, and we also remember him on his date of Birth, also November 9th. Every year, we take a moment to remember him and his lifelong contributions to the art he so dearly shepherd, along with his devotion son, our Kwan Jang Nim H.C. Hwang. The dedication and commitment of these two human beings, has influenced close to over 60 thousand Dan members and Gup members throughout the World Moo Duk Kwan. Happy Anniversary to all. Soo Bahk!
