Prominent Members

Bum Moo Kwan (GM Kim Yun-Sik) IS NOT a Kwan recognized by KHF. Yun Sik Kim was affiliated with the KHA but after moving to Brazil, did not affiliate with the KHF when it restructured from the KHA. Bum Moo Kwan is not on the list of KHF recognized Kwans but may have been recognized by the KHA. My records are incomplete regarding pre-KHF members. This information can be confirmed with Kevin Donohue <kevindonohue@koreahapkidofederation.net> and KHF International Director, Master Bae, Sung Book at khfdirector@gmail.com.

Why have people with low dan rankings (3rd, 4th,) listed here? Why is the list so US heavy with even the "Korea" rep being a 4th dan from the States? (No offense whatsoever intended to Master Johnson. There may be a reason for this.) Surely placing a few of highest representatives from each country would suffice. Otherwise the list seems to serve as personal advertisements for US school owners.

I'd like to see the list expanded and be more inclusive of a variety of countries with only a few representatives from each. It would seem more correct to also list the highest ranking people at the KHF Headquarters as the Korea reps.

Any other people like to weigh in on this?--Mateo2006 07:30, 10 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

No thoughts or changes in regard to the above?

Wording the Prominent Members section "A list of people who WERE or are prominent members of the KHF" could leave you with a list growing far too long, don't you think? If we put all the prominent members of the past here we could easily add another dozen names to the list. Perhaps it should be reserved to present prominent members. Any ideas here?--Mateo2006 07:24, 27 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

In that case also with an minimum dan ranking, like 6th or 7th dan. Kbarends 10:11, 27 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
