Interview with Instructor Phillip Rhee

Master Phillip Rhee began martial arts at the age of 4. Raised in San Francisco, he and his brother Simon both trained with Master Mark Choi, brother of Master Seo Choi, who was Jun Chong and Bruce Lee’s Master in Hapkido. Check out his website here.

His Background:
An instant bond was made between Master Jun Chong and the Rhee brothers when they traveled to Los Angeles to help teach classes at his new school. It was in Los Angeles that Master Rhee got into filmmaking by being an extra in Master Jun Chong’s earlier films. Since then, he has gone on to become a film actor, director, writer, and producer and is responsible for creating the “Best of the Best” film franchise. Through his many successes, he has still stayed committed to teaching at Jun Chong Tae Kwon Do and considers Master Jun Chong as his martial arts master, mentor and big brother.
His Teaching Philosophy:
To teach harmony between Mind, Body and Spirit through the martial arts.

What to Expect in His Classes:
Hard work… Fun and discipline.

Students Kick Butt at Sparring Seminar!

The WUMAO annual Sparring Seminar was held Saturday, August 29, 2009 at the Wilshire branch of Jun Chong Martial Arts. Master Lion Choi, 7th dan in Taekwondo and Hapkido and the former Head Coach of the Korean National Demo Team instructed the 2 sessions with drills and combos to better your sparring technique and strategy.Over 50 students attended, each ready to learn the rules and how to win a point style and Olympic style sparring match. As the tournament approaches, this seminar will no doubt vastly aid each student in preparing for their individual sparring matches.As an attendee, students received their Certificate of Participation personally signed by Master Lion Choi and Grandmaster Jun Chong, who hosted the event on behalf of WUMAO. Each student also got to take home their souvenir gift, a martial arts workout towel that bears the slogan: "No Sweat, No Tears, No black belt." These towels can now be purchased at the studio for $5 each.For more pictures, please check out our media page.
