While studying at the college, his lifelong desire to study traditional martial arts continued.  In 1965, he visited  founder, choi young-sul and had his first meeting with hapkido.  he felt a mysterious charm that made him walk the way of a martial artist.  At first he was taught  by Master Kim Yeung Jae, Founder Choi's pupil.  he was then taught by Founder, Choi , Young-Sul and became his pupil until 1981. During this time with the founder, he endured strict and intense training. Knowing Hapkido's true values and meanings during the special training period with the founder, he opened the Jung Ki Kwan on October 24, 1974. In 1976, Founder, Choi ,Young-Sul closed his place, joined the Jung Ki Kwan, and devoted his energy to it for the rest of his life.
