Extremely rare old patch from Jung Park's TKDIn 1968, Park settled in Toronto, Canada.
In 1973, he held the rank of 7th dan.
In 1974, Park and several other ITF masters demonstrated taekwondo in Toronto—then being promoted as "the new home of the ITF" by General Choi.
Park and Choi went their separate ways after Choi insisted on establishing relations with North Korea during a politically sensitive period.
By 2002, however, they were reconciled, and Park was present at Choi's deathbed.
In 2004, Park was President of the Canadian Taekwon-Do Association, and presented a seminar in Afghanistan.
In 2008, Park conducted a seminar in Beijing.
He headed taekwondo schools in Toronto.
Park is listed as a pioneer in Canada (1950s, 1960s, and 1970s) in Choi Chang-keun's list of taekwondo pioneers.
This is a used patch and measures 4" across as seen in my photo
