Spirit of TaeKwonDo | Chang's TaeKwonDo | TEDxLangleyED

In this demonstration, Chang's Demo Team (CDT) depicts a disagreement between students in a Taekwondo school. One group of students prefer a more traditional way of training versus the more freestyle version preferred by the other group. Team Captain Yoon Park’s freestyle and vest wearing team refuse to train alongside Team Captain Nicholas Pusic’s traditional focused team and a disagreement breaks out. It isn’t until Master Andrew Lee steps in to remind them of the true spirit of TaeKwonDo that the students come together as one. The power of their connection unifies and strengthens their performance and unison as a group. Chang’s Demonstration Team or “CDT” is a performance group based out of Chang’s Taekwondo Martial Arts School. Chang’s Taekwondo is a martial arts school that opened in 1995, under Grand Master Am Yong Chang a 9th degree black belt and well respected individual of the Taekwondo community. Since then, under the guidance of both Grand Master and his son Master Minku Chang the school has spread to five locations across the lower mainland. Each school creating a family of martial artists within its community. CDT is a Taekwondo performance team growing in popularity as they demonstrate their techniques at malls, school, grand openings, and public events that host audiences of 1000+. Specializing in creating a story through their demonstrations they hope to inspire and spread their passion of Taekwondo to everyone that sees.
