Kangdukwon Moo Do seal

WKF-Kangdukwon Moo Do Accord

Following five years of deliberations, discussions and negotiations, the World Kangdukwon Federation has agreed to recognize Grand Master Ahn Gun Soon‘s senior Vietnamese student Nguyen Kim Chau and his most dedicated senior students as peers and equals of Kangdukwon students of WKF Chonggae and President Hwa Chong. It is worth noting that both Grand Masters Ahn Gun Soon and Hwa Chong had themselves learned Kangdukwon Taekwondo in the same dojang at Kwangju High School directly from the co-founders of Kangdukwon.

As such, we are recognizing not only our common Kangdukwon heritage, but also the adversities and challenges that our Vietnamese brethren have faced ever since the 1960s. More details are found in the WKF’s letter of certification of 16 April 2021 that reads as follows:

World Kangdukwon Federation
34004 Edmonton Avenue
Farmington, Michigan 48335 USA
