“I am honored to recommend Master Yeongwan Yun, whose lifelong dedication to Taekwondo reflects the highest ideals of our discipline. As his professor at Kyung Hee University, I had the privilege of witnessing his growth from a talented and disciplined student into a visionary educator and leader. His deep respect for tradition, combined with his innovative approach to teaching, makes him a true embodiment of what Taekwondo represents today.

Master Yun has trained tens of thousands of students in Korea, instilling in them not only physical skill but also confidence, character, and a sense of responsibility to their communities. His belief in the value of character-centered education and his commitment to the philosophy of Hyo — filial piety — set him apart as an educator who truly understands the transformative power of Taekwondo.

By bringing this vision to the United States through Hyo Taekwondo, Master Yun continues to build bridges between cultures and inspire the next generation of leaders. I have no doubt that his efforts will leave a meaningful and lasting impact on his students and the broader community. It is with full confidence that I recommend him and his program to all.”
