Meet Master Ross Cameron
Master Ross Cameron began his martial arts journey in New Zealand at the age of four. What started as a childhood interest soon became a lifelong commitment to martial arts, personal development and the pursuit of excellence.
As a young martial artist, Master Cameron met Grandmaster Young Ku Yun, whose knowledge, leadership and dedication to martial arts would have a profound influence on the course of his life. Recognising his commitment, work ethic and potential, Grandmaster Yun personally invited Master Cameron to move to Brisbane, Australia, to become his live-in student, known in Japanese martial arts as an "uchi-deshi".
Accepting this invitation meant leaving his home in New Zealand and committing himself to full-time training under the direct guidance of Grandmaster Yun. Living and training alongside the Founder provided Master Cameron with a unique opportunity to develop not only his technical ability, but also the discipline, leadership, teaching philosophy and values that would shape the rest of his martial arts career.
As Grandmaster Yun founded Yun Jung Do, Master Cameron became the resident instructor at Headquarters and was appointed as one of only four founding International Instructors, entrusted with helping establish and develop the organisation during its formative years. Working closely alongside the Founder gave Master Cameron a unique understanding of the art, its philosophy and the standards expected of every Yun Jung Do instructor.
Over the decades that followed, Master Cameron remained committed to the growth and development of Yun Jung Do. He has taught and mentored students and instructors throughout Australia and internationally, helping establish clubs, support instructors and preserve the principles, traditions and values passed on by Grandmaster Yun.
Following Grandmaster Yun's retirement, Master Cameron was appointed **Chief Instructor and Chairman of Yun Jung Do International**, accepting the responsibility of leading the organisation into its next chapter while preserving the vision and legacy established by its Founder.
For Master Cameron, Yun Jung Do has always been about far more than physical techniques. It is about developing character, discipline, humility, respect and leadership—qualities that extend beyond the training hall and into everyday life. He believes the role of an instructor is not simply to teach martial arts, but to help people become better individuals through their training.
Today, Master Cameron is committed to supporting affiliated clubs, mentoring instructors and ensuring future generations experience the same guidance, opportunities and values that Grandmaster Young Ku Yun shared with his students. While respecting the traditions on which Yun Jung Do was founded, he is equally committed to ensuring the organisation continues to grow, evolve and remain relevant for generations to come.
Master Cameron looks forward to meeting members throughout the upcoming international seminar tour and continuing to work alongside instructors and students as Yun Jung Do International enters its next chapter.
