Your Instructor:

Mr Bos, now 3rd degree (Dan) began Taekwon-do at the University of Waterloo following the WTF (Kukkikwon) style to the rank of green stripe in 1994. He continued his training at the University of Western Ontario under the instruction of Master Dan Hong, 5th Dan, and his father, Grandmaster Hong Sung-In, 8th Dan at the London Taekwondo Academy. Master Dan Hong was a member in the Olympic demonstration team prior to acceptance as a Olympic sport, placing silver in sparring. Grandmaster Hong was an early pioneer of Taekwon-do to Taiwan and Canada. Due to his first employment upon graduation, in a place with no TKD school, he studied Karate in Hanover ON. Joining the CAF in 2004, recommenced his training in Brandon MB at the KiRin Taekwon-do Club under the ITF Canada technical director, Mr Glen Gross, 5th Dan. Master instructor was Clint Norman. Achieved his 1st Dan in 2008, and opened a school at CFB Shilo, teaching there until posted to Borden in 2011. Though ready to test to 2nd Dan then, it was postponed due to the posting. He began preparations to create a club at CFB Borden, "Integrity Taekwondo", and joined the ITF-TAO organization under technical director, Mr Michael Morningstar, 5th Dan. Mr Morningstar travelled and worked extensively with the founder. Upon posting in 2015 to Ottawa, the club renamed as Borden Taekwondo and is now taught by former student, Mr Luc Blanchette, 3rd Dan (yes, the student has surpassed the 'master). In Ottawa, Mr Bos continued to train with Johnston's Taekwondo under Mr Johnston 6th Dan with the ITF-TAO. Getting ready again for 2nd Dan, he was posted after a year to Gagetown.
