Biography
Pak was born in 1943 or 1944 in Korea during the Japanese occupation. [1] [5] He began to engage in martial arts from childhood, starting with boxing , then did judo , and then - taekwondo. The park was one of the twelve original (forming style and terminology) masters of the Taekwon-Do Association of Korea. In 1964, he became the second president of this organization. [6] Between 1965 and 1967, Pak reached 4th dan and led the training of South Korean soldiers in Vietnam . [7]
In 1970, Pak left the army and moved to Canada, where he met his future wife Linda in Toronto.

Already as the head of GTF, Park developed six additional hyungs, which supplemented the formal ITF complexes, and also removed the Juche-tul form, named after the DPRK's totalitarian ideology. [fifteen]
