U.S.
Jung Sim
Do Federation
Acknowledging
innovation makes Jung Sim Do a "live" art, third generation Jung Sim Do
instructor, Vincent Vergara, founded the U.S. Jung Sim Do Federation in
1995. This organization set forth the modern idea of maintaining Jung Sim
Do’s strong traditions while evolving it’s philosophy and techniques to
better serve today’s martial arts practitioners and their needs.
The Federation is fortunate to have the
support of two premiere pioneers of the art: Grandmaster Choi’s highest
American student, Grandmaster
Joe Fox, 7th Dan, chief instructor of the Harrisburg Institute of Tae Kwon
Do, and Master Jack Holman, 4th
Dan, chief instructor of Jung Sim Do Korean Karate in Hagerstown,
MD.
The U.S. Jung Sim Do
Federation’s purpose is to PRESERVE, DEVELOP and
PROMOTE the art of Jung
Sim Do. It adheres to these duties and responsibilities by providing
continued instruction to its black belts in their martial
arts development, and providing
leadership and guidance to those black
belt instructors who aspire to open their own dojangs (training
halls). The Federation also maintains communication among its instructors to
inform, discuss and resolve issues as they relate to the well-being of Jung
Sim Do Martial Art and the
Federation.
Last, but not least, the Federation insures that all decisions are made in
consideration of what is
best for the students. This last point is not taken lightly since it’s
students, both novice and
experienced, are the foundation and future of Jung Sim Do.
