Grandmaster Dong’s Martial Arts School was founded by Grandmaster Seung Gyoo Dong. Grandmaster Dong is a 9th degree black belt and has studied several styles of martial arts including the most advanced style, Um Yang Do. After serving as the Korean Air Force headquarters instructor in 1967, he moved to America to continue his college education and opened his first school in Harrisonburg, Virginia in 1971. He later relocated his Headquarters branch to Richmond. Grandmaster Dong gained world recognition when he was featured on the cover of Tae Kwon Do magazine in 1989. An author of three books, Progressive Sparring, Sparring Structure and Where is My Black Belt?, he also has a eight video series which includes all the color belt requirements and the advanced black belt series, Progressive Sparring I and II. In November 1999, he competed in a grand master level, invitation only tournament in Taque, Korea where he won the title “King of the World” for speed breaking. He has successfully trained more than 6000 black belts in his martial arts career as well as forty masters and has more than 30 branches nationwide and one in Australia.
