“It is my distinct honor to recommend Master Yeongwan Yun, a leader and mentor whose dedication to the next generation of Taekwondo practitioners has been exemplary. As a national team coach, I deeply value educators who understand that true Taekwondo is about much more than just techniques — it is about instilling confidence, discipline, and a strong sense of purpose in young students. Master Yun exemplifies this philosophy through every aspect of his teaching.

I have witnessed his ability to train students who are not only skilled athletes, but also responsible and respectful individuals, ready to contribute to their communities. His experience mentoring thousands of black belts and his vision of character-centered education make him a role model for both students and fellow instructors alike.

By bringing his expertise and heart to the United States through Hyo Taekwondo, Master Yun is creating opportunities for countless young people to grow into strong, confident, and compassionate leaders. I fully support his mission and believe he will continue to elevate the standard of Taekwondo education wherever he goes.”
