Rest in Peace Great Grandmaster Yong Moon.
Born in Hapcheon, South Korea, on February 14th, 1949, Yong Moon was an only son amongst 7 siblings. As many of his uncles ran a Tang Soo Do school in Korea, he naturally began training from an early age. He went on to receive a fifth dan black belt by the age of 18 which is an extremely high rank for someone that young. Furthermore, Yong travelled to parts of Korea where Chinese Kung Fu masters went underground during the Chinese communist movement’s cultural revolution. Hence, “Korean Kung Fu” was born. His main instructor, Master Kang Gum Bang, was one of the three Chinese historic masters who emigrated to South Korea during the revolution.
Yong started his very own school in Busan Nampo-dong at the age of 18. In his school, he taught a hybrid form between Korean and Chinese martial arts. He picked and chose the best techniques from the two styles and later called it Moo Rim Do.
In the 1960s, the Korean government was pushing Tae Kwon Do as its newly formed national martial arts and later asked Yong to receive the highest honor of 9th degree black belt in exchange for adding the Tae Kwon Do system to his school, and thus, helping develop the art. As Tae Kwon Do was a derivative of Tang Soo Do, Yong accepted.
In the late 1970s, Yong received an invitation from the then Louisiana Governor and New Orleans Chief of Police to come teach martial arts. He accepted the invitation and moved his school to New Orleans. In New Orleans, Yong quickly rose to fame as “Master Moon,” receiving a plethora of media attention for his martial arts demonstrations. He taught in New Orleans from 1979 to the early 1990s.
