HWANG'S MARTIAL ARTS, INC.
PALM BEACH GARDENS, FLORIDA

Grandmaster Hwang spent the four years between 1980 and 1984 in sheer determination. He refused to give up his Olympic dream, and was the only member of both the 1980 and the 1984 Olympic Teams. With pride, Jung Oh Hwang won a silver medal in Judo in the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics, finally making his dream a reality. After 15 years on the Korea National Team, Grandmaster Hwang retired to focus on his changing priorities and new family. Grandmaster Hwang’s travels brought him knowledge and experience; he saw first-hand the vast amount of children and homeless in need. With a new goal of making life better for everyone, Grandmaster set out to change lives through martial arts. This goal marked a change, as Grandmaster Hwang turned his focus toward teaching others the positive benefits of practicing a martial art. After graduation, Hwang worked tirelessly to expand his own martial arts school. In 1993, Grandmaster Hwang opened his second school in Paducah, KY, only thirty miles from Martin, Tennessee. Grandmaster Hwang and his family poured their time and energy into developing a school where Grandmaster Hwang’s teachings of courtesy, integrity, perseverance, and an indomitable spirit could help the community one student at a time. While operating his schools, Grandmaster taught Taekwondo and Judo classes at the University of Tennessee, Martin and Paducah Community College. All the while, Hwang continued in his own training, becoming a 6th degree black belt in Taekwondo, a 6th degree black belt in Judo, and a 7th degree black belt in Hapkido, which earned him the prestigious ranking of Grandmaster. After five years of helping the Paducah community, Grandmaster Hwang and his family moved to Louisville, where he opened his third school in 1997. Hwang took the Louisville Metro area by storm with his vision of community service and mastery of martial arts. Grandmaster Hwang incorporated community service as a part of his school’s curriculum. He partnered with the WHAS Crusade for Children, Louisville Metro Police’s Crimes Against Children, Wayside Christian Mission Homeless Shelter, the Jefferson County Public School System, and countless more organizations. Now, with four locations in Louisville, Hwang’s Martial Arts shares in its growth. Members give time, money, support, and services to the local community. From a young boy in a small village, to Grandmaster of one of the leading martial arts schools in the country, Grandmaster Jung Oh Hwang has yet to waiver in his culminating goal of making the world a better place to live.
