In Loving Memory of Grandmaster Jae Hun Kim 1952-2026
Dear Taekwondo Families,
It is with a heavy heart that I share the sad news of the passing of Grandmaster Jae Hun Kim.
Grandmaster Jae Hun Kim was one of the greatest Taekwondo masters I have ever had the privilege of knowing and learning from.
His knowledge of Taekwondo was incredible, but what impressed me most was his genuine passion and love for Taekwondo.
When I first shared my dream of opening a Taekwondo school in Virginia, he sincerely encouraged me and told me that I would do well.
I promised him that one day, when our school had grown and we had more students, I would welcome him to Virginia the following spring. I had looked forward to that day so much. It breaks my heart that I will never have the chance to fulfill that promise.
Although he is no longer with us, I will carry his teachings, passion, and dedication with me. I will continue to work hard, teach with sincerity, and do my best to honor the values he taught me.
I feel truly blessed to have had him as my teacher and mentor. His guidance and influence will always remain with me.
May Grandmaster Jae Hun Kim rest in peace.
Thank you all for your continued support, understanding, and encouragement. I am truly grateful to have such a wonderful Taekwondo family.
With gratitude,
Instructor Mun
Jae Hun Kim Taekwon-do Virginia
