After training in
TaeKwon-Do for only two years, Scott Kopperud gave up hockey to
pursue the dream of achieving his Black-Belt, which he did two years
later. Since that time, many years ago, he has gone on to become a
Canadian National TaeKwon-Do Champion three times in both Forms and
Free-Fighting, and twice in Board-Breaking. Kopperud is certified in
both the "world" and "international" styles of TaeKwon-Do as a
Master Instructor. With over five years experience as a high school
teacher in the areas of physical education, English and special
needs education, Kopperud has dedicated much of his time in the past
eight years to developing and refining the "Kopperud" system of
TaeKwon-Do instruction. Dropping all other professional activities
in 1991, he has dedicated his time solely to TaeKwon-Do, the
expansion of his 24 schools and the development of Unified
TaeKwon-Do International. Kopperud travels often, giving seminars
and providing quality instruction and support to TaeKwon-Do
instructors world wide. Master Kopperud was examined and promoted to
the rank of 7th Dan Black-Belt many years ago in the United States
by a panel of 12 TaeKwon-Do and Martial Arts Masters. This
examination was witnessed and endorsed by over one hundred
TaeKwon-Do Black-Belts. Kopperud was the youngest North American to
achieve this rank and is the first to do so in both the
"international" and "world" styles.
On June 4, 1999 in Cologne, Germany, Scott L. Kopperud was promoted to
the rank of 8th Dan Black-Belt Grand Master by an International
Panel of TaeKwon-Do Experts, Grand Masters, Masters, Chief
Instructors and Instructors. Grand Master Kopperud is the youngest
TaeKwon-Do practitioner to achieve this rank which was awarded to
him for dedication to the development and continuing evolution of
TaeKwon-Do as well as his superior physical and technical expertise
in the execution of the art. |
