5th Dan (5th Degree Black Belt)
I have studied Tae Kwon Do ever since I was 4 years old.  First and foremost under my father, and then under several of my wonderful elder instructors who have had past experiences in war, boxing, kickboxing, wrestling, and self defense situations.  Currently, I am a fourth degree black belt.  I have been teaching martial arts for approximately 8 years.  Because I consider myself an enthusiast of the craft, and due to my fortunate experience with several instructors, I can't help but try my best to study, observe, and learn the different aspects that every martial art has to offer.  Basically, I love it all!
 
In my opinion, the greatest reward I derive from teaching is being involved in people's lives. I enjoy showing them what they may gain from studying the martial arts.  I believe people can benefit not only in the physical and self defense aspects, but also the mental aspects such as gaining confidence or experiencing the serene Eastern philosophies that help reduce stress or help one find a better way of coping with life.  This is one of the main reasons of why I remain motivated to teach in this field.  The other reason is that teaching is great fun!  I am a sincere fan of the martial arts but I also believe in its power to change people’s lives.
 
My future goals in the martial arts are to extend the knowledge of Tae Kwon Do to anyone who is willing to learn, and to help people experience all of its benefits while expanding my knowledge of the martial arts.

I have a Bachelor of Science in Movement Science/Kinesiology from the University of Illinois at Chicago.  I have future plans to work in the medical field where I believe I can further expand my knowledge in order to help make the world a better place.

4th Dan (4th Degree Black Belt)
I have studied Tae kwon Do for over fourteen years and have reached the rank of 4th degree black belt.  I have been helping and teaching at the school since I got my deputy black belt eleven years ago.  Martial arts has been a hobby of mine since I started learning Judo at a YMCA when I was ten years  old.  At Gordon Tech High School, I competed as a varsity wrestler,  intramural boxing and intramural power lifting.  I feel that these have helped me become a more well-rounded individual. 

In today's busy world we all lead very hectic lives.  I have a wife and three children.  All of my children have attended the school with me.  I also own and operate Highland Home Improvements.  Training at Chung's Tae Kwon Do helps me find the balance I need to keep going at this busy pace.  I have met many great friends and Instructors there.  I enjoy teaching at Chung's and find it very rewarding to help others learn this wonderful art.  It always motivates me because I find as I teach others I am always learning more myself.  I would like to continue studying Tae Kwon Do all my life and share what I learn with others.

I like teaching here because of the positive feedback I get from all my students. I stay motivated and focused because I love martial arts and the reward I get from it. I really enjoy constantly learning and perfecting my skills.

5th Dan (5th Degree Black Belt)
I have been with Chung's Tae Kwon Do for 20 of my 52 years. My greatest reward as an instructor is teaching students how to excel to their potential in Tae Kwon Do.  My studies in martial arts started as at the age of 15, when I studied both Tae Kwon Do and Judo.  After a brief start, I needed to take some time away from training for academic reasons. Upon returning to Tae Kwon Do, I worked my way up to 4th degree, using those years as an instructor, to teach students how to achieve the same.
 
My motivation comes from the feedback I receive from the individuals I teach. Just knowing that I have guided them on their journey in Tae Kwon Do is rewarding enough. My profession away from Tae Kwon Do is property maintenance and management for a realty company.  My goal is to spend more time training myself to become a better instructor and most of all... to have fun!
