Our Story

Senior Grand Master Lu

Head Instructor of Lu's TaeKwon-Do

Senior Grandmaster Phap Lu holds an 9th Degree Black Belt and has studied TaeKwon-Do for over 50 years.

Grandmaster Lu was born in Saigon, Vietnam in 1956. At the age of 13, he started TaeKwon-Do training and received his 1st Degree Black Belt at the age of 15. He then became an Instructor at the famous Ohdokwan TaeKwon-Do School in Vietnam.

In 1979, Grandmaster Lu came to Canada and joined Jung Park's TaeKwon-Do School as an Assistant Instructor and trained under the tutelage of Park Jung Taek.

Grandmaster Lu won first place in Free Style Breaking Techniques at the Inter Continental Cup in Quebec City in 1982. He also helped the Canadian Team place 1st overall at the same tournament. Grandmaster Lu was a Gold Medallist in the 4th World TaeKwon-Do Championship held in Scotland in 1984. Over 45 countries participated and Grandmaster Lu helped lead the Canadian Team to be the victorious Grand Champions.

In 1989, the Founder of TaeKwon-Do, General Choi Hong Hi, requested Grandmaster Lu, to assist him with International Instructor's Seminars around the world. Grandmaster Lu assisted General Choi since that time with International Instructor's Seminars until the General's death in 2002.

With a wealth of experience and knowledge, Grandmaster Lu is passionate to cultivate and preserve General Choi's original teachings. Over the last 30 years, Grandmaster Lu has built strong foundational roots of TaeKwon-Do in the Ottawa Region.

Testimony

Kelly Duval - Former Student

I studied with Master Lu back in the 80’s when he was teaching with Master Park on Nepean.He was always patient, kind, and encouraging.He believes in you doing your best and measuring your progress by your own ability. Not on how good you think others are. His standard are hi when he teaches. He does not believe in teaching to brag or boast. He loves teaching and watching others succeed. Even in small victories.I would honestly recommend him.

Phenomenal school! I attended for years throughout school when I was younger. The instructors really care about each student and take the time to ensure that every student succeeds! I simply could not recommend this school enough. Master Lu is one of the best teachers I have ever had the privilege of learning under.
