An article mentioning my friend, Henry, who helps train soldiers at the United States Army Special Forces Detachment-Korea:
Our choice for a grappling instructor was not a difficult one. Henry Jung is a Korean-American submission grappling instructor who studied Brazilian jiu-jitsu with Carlson Gracie Junior in Chicago and with Takamasa Watanabe in Tokyo, and is a longtime friend of the Special Forces crew in Korea. Henry grew up in the hapkido gym his father operates in Chicago, giving him an exposure to that art from an early age.
Henry had won the first Mixed Martial Arts championship in Korea, and had made it to the semi-finals in the second, much larger competition. Ironically, he lost in the semi-finals to a former Korean Special Forces soldier following a nasty kick to the head. That kick, in another twist of irony, had broken his opponent's foot. Henry has been privately training Special Forces Detachment members in submission grappling as a friend for several years, and had actively participated in the 2001 and 2002 seminars. Henry also speaks English and Korean fluently, making him the obvious instructor of choice for 2003. (full article)
