Senior Hapkido Grandmaster Bong Soo Han
Below is a photo of the Hapkido Seminar that was held at Senior Grandmaster Choi TaeHong's school in Portland, Oregon on May 3, 2003. The American Hapkido Hurk Choo Kwan Association  participants thoroughly enjoyed their time spent training with Senior Grandmaster Han, Bong Soo (Bong Soo Han) of "Billy Jack" fame. Senior Grandmaster Han, Bong Soo is not only a martial arts film legend but an excellent Hapkido practitioner as well. Grandmaster Suggs said "Senior Grandmaster Bong Soo Han's skill can only be accomplished through years & years of constant practice and teaching of the martial arts." Grandmaster Suggs further states that he remembers that 25 years ago when he met Senior Grandmaster Choi, Tae Hong he spoke of Senior Grandmaster Bong Soo Han and showed him photo's of the two of them together in Vietnam. Grandmaster Suggs emphasized that Senior Grandmaster Choi is his senior in Taekwondo Jidokwan ranking by many years. Grandmaster Suggs encourages everyone to attend the next seminar with Senior Grandmaster Bong Soo Han and to not pass up the opportunity of a life time such as this.
