Great Grandmaster Hong Sik Kim
Great Grandmaster Hong Sik Kim was President of a Taekwon-Do organization which includes schools in Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Montana and Colorado and Hawaii. He is a Colonel in the Oregon National Guard, Reserve Projects Officer, and Dean of International Affairs at Canyonville Christian High School. Great Grandmaster Kim finished 4 years of college, majoring in Russian, and went on to earn a Ph.D. in Humanities from the School of Arts and Sciences at Columbia Pacific University in California. He was a Korean National Police Instructor, and devoted more than 40 years to the martial arts, including boxing, Judo, Sumo, and Taekwon-Do.
Great Grandmaster Kim began taking Taekwon-Do lessons when he was 13, attending a very strict school and learning that hard work and many hours of practice are essential. Great Grandmaster Kim has said "I learned the art of negotiation and avoidance of conflict. The only time of my life I have ever engaged in real fighting was when I was 12 years old, before I began studying Taekwon-Do." Great Grandmaster Kim guided and inspired over 30,000 students since beginning his career as an instructor over 30 years ago.
Great Grandmaster Kim passed away several years ago, but he left a legacy of committed and dedicated martial artists who continue teaching traditional Tae Kwon Do. Both Nancy and Chuck Hull were very fortunate to have had the opportunity to study directly under the Great Grandmaster.
