“OVER THE YEARS WE HAVE BEEN BLOWN AWAY BY THE KINDNESS OF THE CHANG'S FAMILY AND WE ARE ALWAYS IMPRESSED BY THE ABILITY OF THE INSTRUCTORS TO CONNECT WITH THE KIDS. OUR TWO BOYS HAVE GROWN SO MUCH OVER THESE LAST YEARS, IN LARGE PART DUE TO THEIR ATTENDING CLASSES. OUR ORIGINAL GOALS HAVE BEEN MET, AND MANY OTHER BENEFITS OF TAEKWONDO HAVE BECOME EVIDENT IN OUR CHILDREN.”

Our History
Grand Master Chang
Chang’s Taekwondo was started by Grand Master Chang, Bruce Chang, in 1995 after moving with his family from South Korea two years earlier.
Having been training in Taekwondo since 1955, he has continued his dedication for this Martial Art for nearly 70 years, holding a ninth degree black belt since 2016 - the highest degree in World Taekwondo.
The inspiration to begin Taekwondo came when he was very young, walking past a dojang (taekwondo school) and hearing the sounds of the students in class. It peeked his interest enough to look through the window and witness the discipline everyone was showing toward their training.
Since then, he continues to train everyday and has shared this discipline with both of his children who now hold fourth and seventh degree black belts themselves.
His philosophies and concepts for his vision of Chang’s Taekwondo continue to be the backbone for the teachings taught at every location.
He currently serves as the vice president in Grand Master Union of Canada and continues to be involved in all black belt testing at Chang’s Taekwondo.
Master Chang
The teachings at Chang’s Taekwondo are continued by Master Chang who’s expanded the school to 6 locations.
For Minku Chang, learning martial arts is more than just the family business, it’s a living tradition that started when he was 5 years old - earning his first degree black belt at the age of 7.
As a teenager, he started teaching others and has since become a seventh degree black belt. Competing at a national level in South Korea.
He decided to give up competition to earn a degree in Mechanical Engineering from UBC. Since then, he chose to follow in his father’s footsteps to become a full-time Taekwondo teacher and took over the business in 2005.
He continues to train on a daily basis and has shared this discipline with his children so they can follow their own interests.
