Master Leow Cheong KoonMaster Leow Cheng Koon is an 8th degree black-belt Master of Taekwondo and Hap-Ki-Do, Korean martial arts systems derived from classical Chinese martial arts. Taekwondo is a modern derivative of the classical Korean art of Tae-kyon, which in turn is based on the explosive leg movements of Northern Shaolin Kung Fu. The famous Chinese leg-kicking form of “Tam-Tui" is a Northern Shaolin Form and Taekwondo contains movements remarkably similar to those in this form. Hap-Ki-Do is a traditional Korean martial art which opted not to join the Federation of Korean Arts that went on to form the Korean Taekwondo Association. The style uses weapons and seizing and locking techniques, and is based upon the Chi-Na techniques of Shaolin Kung Fu. Master Leow studied Taekwondo under the tutelage of the founder of Taekwondo (the modern System), General Choi Hong Hii, who acted as Korean Ambassador to Malaysia in the early 1960s. He also taught under the last Korean instructor to leave Malaysia , Master Lee Byong Moo. Upon Mr Lee's departure, Master Leow (then a 3rd degree blackbelt) was made chief instructor of the Selangor Taekwondo Association. In 1974 Master Leow went on to become the chief instructor of a federation of eleven Taekwondo state associations (including the Army Taekwondo group) who joined forces to form the Malaysian Taekwondo Association. |
