“Today we bring to our pages and cover, the Supreme Grand Master Joo Bang Lee, a strong pillar of Korean Arts and without whose contest, one could never understand its evolution in the West.
Filial tribute, yes, but also a magnificent episode of the modern history of the AAMM; example of the life of our elders, of their sacrifices, their determination, in the transition from modern times to postmodernity.
Encounter between past and future, this article that for its interest and extension will continue in future editions, will take us by the hand of GM Taejoon Lee, to meet his father, living legend of Korean Arts, in a way and with some details that probably nobody can ever match. Also as he himself confesses, he never thought he would talk about his parents in this close and open way, and we appreciate his trust in granting us the privilege of publishing it.
In a time of heroes of stone cardboard, empty of contents, in the empty era of instagram, where the image is what counts, the solid examples of the scramble and the character of once, exemplifiers and inspirers of those new generations, which are and will come, and whose poor human color palette, has more to do with the forms, than with the contents. Real heroes like SGM Joo Bang Lee, are beacons in the dark that will always illuminate with the example of their lives; lives that marked the history of Martial Arts.”
