Jin Hee Jeong , Instructor
Jin Hee Jeong hails from the birthplace of Tae Kwon Do, South Korea, and is proud to be an avid participant in the art! Mr. Jeong first started training in tae kwon do at the age of 20; he participated in an intensive tae kwon do course as part of his ROTC studies. Mr. Jeong continued practicing and in October of 1994 earned the level of First Dan. Subsequently in October of 1995, Mr. Jeong went on to achieve 2nd Dan status. It was shortly thereafter when he became not only a student, but also a teacher of Tae Kwon Do, when he began, as a military officer, to instruct his soldiers. He did this from 1996 to 1998. Upon moving to Canada, Mr. Jeong was anxious to join a Tae Kwon Do club, and he knew he found what he was looking for when he joined Glenn Hale's Miramichi Tae Kwon Do in 2006. Mr. Jeong found himself, once again, passionate about the study, and under Master Hale's tutelage, he merited his 3rd Dan achievement in June of 2007. Presently, Mr. Jeong is teaching the traditional Tae Kwon Do class as part of Master Hale's curriculum. Jin maintains the philosophy that Tae Kwon Do must be appreciated for its complete physical and mental benefits. One must learn to strive for the balance which the martial art brings to us, not only in our skill, strength, and abilities, but also in our clarity of mind, and focus of spirit.
