My instructor routinely talks about a person who routinely out did him in TKD Forms competition "back before the day". I'm interested in seeing if I could locate this elusive person. His name is Jay Bong Chung, or at least thats how it sounds. I have no idea if it is spelled correctly. I'm assuming he would have been in the Vermont/NY area back in the mid to late 80's.

Maybe Jae instead of Jay?

Looking for a Korean named Jae Kim who's a TKD guy is kinda like looking for an American named John Smith that likes cars. I know 3 at least in the my area, sure I could find more if I looked. That's a rough task. Maybe something to narrow it more???

find out more about the competition itself, and follow that trail. however, it could very well be that it was a locally sponsored tournament, and the participants were not well known or documented. the later 80's saw an explosion of local MA tournaments.

Laura,
You are most likely looking for Chung Jae-bok or
Jae Bok Chung. He was a student of Duk Song Son. I believe that he also was the author of the Kuk Mu series of forms. I believe Son, formed the Kuk Mu Kwan. The school dissolved prior to Duk Song Son leaving Korea for the U.S.

I agree with Mr. Morris. What org were they competing in? It maybe easier to track it down that way !
