Our dojang family is deeply saddened to share that Dojunim Ji Han-Jae passed away this morning, peacefully in his sleep.
Dojunim Ji was more than a martial arts icon, he was a teacher, a mentor, and a steady source of inspiration for generations. His impact on HapKiDo, and on the lives of those who trained under him or were influenced by him, is immeasurable.
Today we mourn, and we also give thanks, for a life that brought so much strength, wisdom, and direction to so many.
We offer our sincere condolences to his family, loved ones, and students around the world. Please keep the Ji family in your thoughts and prayers.
