Many of the Korean schools of martial arts closed their doors during the Korean War, and the Chung Do Kwan was no exception. It did not reopen until 1953. By this point, however, Lee Won Kuk rarely visited the school because of his advanced age. Son Duk Sung and the instructors Son had personally trained became the primary teachers of the kwan. As time progressed, several advanced students of the Chung Do Kwan branched off and founded their own kwans.

The Chosun Yun Moo Kwan—Ji Do Kwan

The evolution of chosun yun moo kwan began in 1931 when Lee Kyung Suk, a Korean who taught judo, was allowed to establish the Chosun Yun Moo Kwan school in Seoul. He successfully operated this school of judo for several decades.

At the end of World War II, Lee Kyung Suk asked Chun Sang Sup to set up a course of kwon bop at his school. This program was named Chosun Yun Moo Kwan Kwon Bup Bu.

Chun Sang Sup began his martial arts training in judo while in high school. He then moved to Japan to attend Dong Yang Chuck Sik College. It was during this period that he was exposed to Shotokan karate, and he is believed to have earned a black belt.
