About the Owner/Head Master Instructor
Master IlGwon Jang, currently holding a 6th Dan Kukiwon Black Belt, was born in Seoul, Republic of South Korea. It was there where he started training daily in Taekwondo as a young child with Master Sukmin Jung. His family immigrated to New Brunswick, Canada when he was in his early 20’s and after going to Saint John College to learn english he integrated back into the Taekwondo world after a brief hiatus. Owning a Taekwondo school was always a dream and in 2022 that became a reality. Saint John Taekwondo was born and hit the ground running. It continues to grow and flourish in these early business years and that is thanks to the supportive Saint John community and the loyal Taekwondo family that’s been built within.
