The NCTA officers would like to express their sadness as they learned that Hyunsik Jung, who served as both manager and coach of the 2010 USA National Collegiate Taekwondo Team, as well as an NCTA referee, passed away this week. The 2010 team traveled to Vigo, Spain for the World University Taekwondo Championships. Dan Chuang, NCTA President, said, “as head coach on the 2010 team, I remember Coach Jung as a humble individual whose quiet demeanor hid a deep excellence – indeed, he coached one of the two USA sparring medalists for those championship, Wardell Samotshozo. He later dedicated his time to helping the NCTA as a referee and in other ways. We will always remember his contributions to collegiate taekwondo.”
Coach Jung ran a successful school and also served as a World Taekwondo International Referee, refereeing at NCTA events as well, and was extremely well-regarded by his colleagues and students. We hop you can all join us in grieving with his family and celebrating his contributions to the NCTA. You can leave a message for Master Jung’s family, as well as learn details about his service here:
