Loading...At Mattevi’s Martial Arts Academy in Superior, Wisconsin, our style of martial arts is in the direct lineage of the Song Moo Kwan which was founded by Grandmaster Byong Jick Ro. The teachings of Grandmaster Ro were brought to the United States from Korea by several trustworthy students. One of whom was Il Joo Kim. One of Grandmaster Kim’s first students was Bob Chaney.
