Mr. Uddin’s journey in Taekwondo is marked by a truly historic moment that sets him apart in the martial arts community. As a yellow belt in 1996–1997, he attended a seminar in Leicester that was personally conducted by the founder of Taekwondo, Grand Master Choi Hong Hi, and his son, Grand Master Choi Jung Hwa. To be taught directly by the very originator of the art is an incredibly rare privilege—one that not many practitioners can claim. This unique experience laid a powerful foundation for Mr. Uddin’s development and continues to inspire his dedication to teaching and preserving authentic Taekwondo.
