Ooi’s Tae Kwon Do was founded by GM Ooi in London England in 1974. In 1985, GM Ooi emigrated to Canada and formed Ooi’s Taekwondo Canada, that was the start of an international organization. It has 7 member countries including Canada, and continues to grow as more countries apply to be part of Ooi’s Taekwondo.

The growth of Ooi’s Taekwondo is mainly due to the support and diligent work of Master Steve Graham, who started training with GM Ooi since 1977 in Slade Green, Kent, England. Master Graham moved to the Cayman Islands in 1998 and formed Ooi’s Taekwondo Cayman Islands. He set up a seminar in Jamaica hosted by Master Chris Chok WTF President of Jamaica Taekwondo.

Ooi’s Taekwondo Jamaica was formed and Mr. Ted Williams WTF President Bahamas Taekwondo soon followed.

Master Ooi

황 복 래 관 장
International Master Instructor

President of Ooi’s Taekwondo/Tangsoodo and OMAS(Ooi’s Martial Arts System). Canadian Representative of the World Kumite Organization (WKO).

I left the Orient for the United Kingdom late 1973 and started the first Taekwondo/Tangsoodo class in a small church hall in Hackney, East London. Ooi’s Taekwondo-Tang Soo Do was founded January 18, 1974 with only 6 students. From 1974 to mid 1985, with the help of my students Ooi’s Taekwondo-Tang Soo Do expanded throughout London and into Surrey and Kent.

My greatest passion as an Instructor was definitely the time when I was in England. I pushed my students to their limits and then some! It could be argued that at the time, some of the best Tang Soo Do fighters in England came from my school. Today many are instructors themselves and running their own schools.

It was a time of contrasting highs and lows where I learnt the meaning of trust, loyalty and disappointment. England taught me a lot and I thank all my British students and trust you understand I was harsh, so you would excel!!!
