Grand Master Martin has coordinated the Dae Myung Taekwondo Camp at Clark Canyon Bible Camp near Dillon, Montana.  This camp is exclusively for schools who follow Grand Master Park's teachings.

We will receive instruction in Taekwondo, Judo and Hapkido.  Aside from the instruction in techniques participants will come home with tremendous exposure to the Philosophies of the Martial Arts we hold so dear.

Master James Park is a gifted teacher who has much to offer us in the way of martial arts knowledge and life philosophy.

This camp is open to ALL Belts and ages! We can not stress enough what a life changing opportunity this is and how seizing this moment is tremendously important. 

The cost of camp is $130 which includes meals, lodging and instruction without instruction. The cost is $95.  This means families can attend.  All campers under the age of 14 must be accompanied by an adult.

Please contact Mrs. R for questions about camps.

We are Dae Myung

Dae-Myung or the International Dae-Myung Moo Do Federation (IDMF), is the name given to the organization headed by our Grandmaster Jae Ho Park.  Although Grandmaster Park only makes it to Montana twice a year, he is ever present in all f our Taekwondo journeys.  We reflect on his picture at the start and finish of every class at MTC and he is martial arts and life mentor to Master Rosbarsky, making his influence apparent in every teaching at Missoula Taekwondo Center.

To myself and Master Rosbarsky, being Dae-Myng is a privilege.  It is a privilege to be a student of Grandmaster Park, as he is a thoughtful martial artist and the most humble student of life who still considers himself, at 9th Dan Black Belt, to have more to learn.  Having asked to not be promoted to 10th Dan (the highest possible promotion) as that would imply that he no longer had anything to learn.  Requesting instead to be promoted to 10th Dan when he dies.

With the passing of the former IDMF president, Grandmaster Karlo Fugiwara, a restructuring of the organization has led us to be a more defined group.  There is now a process to become an individual member.  When testing for yellow belt all Missoula Taekwondo Center students will become Dae-Myung members.  There is an application to be filled out and a $15 fee for individuals and $25 fee for families of 2 or more.

Membership renewal will happen at every full colored belt (yellow, green, blue and red).  Sr. Red belt and Black Belt.

We ask that all students who are currently yellow belt and above fill out and return the application to MTC with a check payable to IDMF by July 16th.  If you have already paid the fee please fill out the application and return it also by the 16th.

We are excited to give our students the opportunity to be a part of this great lineage and partake in the greater IDMF community.

Master Rosbarsky Appointed Dae Myung Regional Director

We, Missoula Taekwondo center, are a member of the International Dae Myung Moo Do Federation.  What that means is we are connected to, have a lineage from, Grand Master Jae Ho Park and many others including Grand Master Martin Martin.  Which gives us a depth of knowledge and support to sustain us in our martial arts and everyday lives.

Recently the IDMF underwent a restructuring due to the passing of long time president, Grand Master Karlo Fujiwara.  Grand Master Martin was appointed President, which, in my opinion, positions us to experience growth and advancement in Taekwondo in the State.  As part of the restructuring Master Rosbarsky was appointed Regional Director, charged with overseeing Western Montana.  As part of his duties he will enable the network of schools to better communicate and share knowledge and will act as liason between individual schools and the President and Grand Master Jae Ho Park.
