Myong Sung Kwang Dojunim
Direct lineage heir...
Dojunim Sung Kwang Myung is the eldest son of Grand Master Myong Jae Nam, therefore he is the direct lineage heir.
Being the eldest son of the founder of the style, Dojunim was familiar with Hankido from its first steps. At three years old he had already begun, perhaps with the innocence of a child or even with the responsibility of an heir.
He was one of the few children in Korea who did not practice Taekwondo, only doing so when he completed his mandatory military service, on which occasion he served as an assistant to the (TKD) instructor due to his evident abilities. He also practiced Rhythmic Gymnastics.
Dojunim became a leader at a very early age, for this reason perhaps there is not much information on the web and it has also been difficult for him to carry out his work since in the Federation there are Masters who are 20 and 30 years older than him.
In the year 2000 he achieved legal recognition for our federation, with the International HKD Federation being the first to obtain this recognition from the government. He also founded the JAE NAM MOOSOOLWON, thus honoring the late Grand Master Myong Jae Nam.
With resounding success he has organized the Hankido World Games from the year 2000 to date. He also organized the National Hapkido Hankido and Hankumdo Games in South Korea in memory of Myong Jae Nam Kuksanim which have been held from 2003 to date.
In 1999 he officially recognized Professor Alberto Gamboa as a direct disciple and in 2005 he visited Chile giving a successful seminar together with Master Ko Ju Shik.
In 2009, after his tireless efforts, the Korean Ministry of Culture recognizes Hankido as a Traditional martial art. Currently, Dojunim Myong Sung Kwang pursues his studies parallel to the practice of Hankido, completing in 2015 his thesis called: 한기도의 정체성 탐구 [A Study on the HANKIDO Identity].
