A Martial Arts Journey Beginning in 1987
My passion for martial arts was born in 1987 when I started practicing Taekwondo. This discipline formed the beginning of my journey and instilled in me core values such as discipline, respect, perseverance, and self-control.
Over the years, I deepened my practice and progressed both technically and personally. In 1995, I earned my first Dan grade in Taekwondo. This significant milestone further strengthened my dedication to this discipline.
That same year, I also began practicing Hapkido. While continuing my Taekwondo training with great dedication from 1987 to 2000, I developed an increasingly deep passion for this martial art, which would come to hold a central place in my life.
I have been practicing and learning Hapkido uninterruptedly since 1995. Over time, this discipline became one of the fundamental pillars of my journey, my technical development, and my understanding of knowledge transmission.
Today, my commitment to these two disciplines is reflected in the grades I have achieved: 4th Dan in Taekwondo and 8th Dan in Hapkido.
My long years of study have enabled me to develop a holistic perspective on martial arts, built upon technical mastery,training discipline, respect for traditions, and the importance of nurturing new generations.
Nevertheless, I believe that the true meaning of experience gained over the years is only realized when it is placed in the service of others. Therefore, I wish to continue passing on my knowledge, guiding instructors, and actively contributing to the development of Hapkido in France, in Europe, and internationally.
For me, martial arts are much more than just a succession of techniques or grades. Martial arts are a continuous path of learning, built upon mutual respect, discipline, and a responsibility toward future generations.
