RIP GRANDMASTER PARK, CHULL-HEE by Kyosanim, Melissa L. Nichols
Grandmaster Kim Soo and the members of Chayon-Ryu International mourn the passing of Grandmaster Park, Chull-Hee (1932 - 4 April 2016).
Grandmaster Park was one of the two co- founders, along with Grandmaster Hong Jong Pyo (who passed in 2011) of the Kang Duk Kwan, one of the original Nine Kwans of taekwondo.
Grandmaster Hong and Grandmaster Park were students at Chang Moo Kwan, and in 1956 they opened their own school - the Kang Duk Kwan.

Grandmaster Kim Soo studied under and along side Grandmaster Park, and has revered him as an honored teacher from his early days in martial arts.
When news of Grandmaster Park's passing reached Grandmaster, he and the Chayon-Ryu members arranged memorial ceremonies to remember the senior teacher's passing.
