Afterwards, Grand Master Lee Kyu Hyung delivered speech. He said, visiting China Canglong headquarters and awarding Dan certificates to you are a very unforgettable and very good memory. Especially I have seen President Zhen Weili and the WTEF have been committed to Taekwondo teaching and popularizing, studied and developed many advanced educational ideas taking“Chinese-Style Taekwondo Education” as representative and promoting means suitable for China situation. This is very rare, and even in Korea, the birthplace of Taekwondo it is rare too.
Talking about this promoting and awarding event, Grand Master Lee Kyu Hyung excitedly said, I am very pleased that so many excellent Taekwondo learners have successfully been promoted and got their own honor, especially the young students who are the future of the nation and the hope of Taekwondo Sport. They can persevere in exercising and their taekwondo practice is the best practice of Taekwondo spirit.

The morrow, Grand Master Lee Kyu Hyung kindly met and talked with the China Canglong’s Dragon Team, some of VIP students and some of student parents. The atmosphere of the scene was warm and people rushed to take picture with the Master.
At the seminar, Grand Master Lee Kyu Hyung was moved to say, when I see that the enthusiasm for everyone to learn Taekwondo is so high, I was glad and also very touched. Learning & practicing Taekwondo for practitioners are of at least four benefits.
First, it is a kind of physical and psychological temper. It can exercise the bodies and refine the mind.
Second, it has the function of defence. Taekwondo was originally created just due to summarizing and accepting defence skills. Exercising “Tae”“kwon” is just a kind of practicing Taekwondo’s skills, which must have the function of defence.
Third, it can raise the spiritual level. With courtesy, integrity, perseverance and self-control, Taekwondo emphasizes on the cultivation of“do”. While improving “Tae” & “kwon” technique, upgrading “do” is always essential and fundamental. Taekwondo people , in constant practice, can hone their own will, raise their potential and become strong in their lives.
Taekwondo enables practitioners to establish correct goal in life and in moving forward to correct their own direction. This is one of the most prominent characteristics of Taekwondo different from the general martial arts combat. Just because of this, Taekwondo Sport is welcome by different age groups and the widespread public.
Last, Grand Master Lee Kyu Hyung said, I wish in the future after this event the similar activities can often be carried out and I am willing to have more exchanges and share with you. I wish everyone a better and better taekwondo career.
