Chung Do Kwan Taekwondo:
At the Kwanzaa Martial Arts Academy in Kansas City, Mo. we train in Chung Do Kwan, the original traditional school of Taekwondo. Our Chief Instructor Master Rudolph A. Muhammad trained under the world renowned Grandmaster Sabunim Yong Taek Chung. Master Muhammad is the oldest Instructor to receive Master Ranking from Sabunim Chung. Master Muhammad also has the highest ranking Chung Do Kwan students in Sabunim Chung's family of Instructors! The goal of Chung Do Kwan is to prepare youth and adults to reach their highest potential through concentration and disciplined action. Chung Do Kwan provides a logical training process designed to condition the entire body balancing physical, mental and spiritual aspects into one focused effort.
Chung Do Kwan training is a forum to build character in the student. Respect for authority, inner discipline, cooperative learning, correct breathing and meditation are infused with specific martial arts techniques to help students reach their highest potential. Attention is devoted to strengthening intuition and instincts allowing for greater speed and stimulation of innate abilities found in the heart and creation of any artist.
