The Chang-Hun TaeKwon-Do Association was founded by Grandmaster Hodge in 1986. WMKF is the Governing Body of many styles and systems, Grandmaster Hodge has 60 Years in the Martial Arts. SGM Hodge also founded World MooSul Kwan Hapkido Federation, World Martial Arts Weapons Federation International, World MooSul Kwan Tang Soo Do Federation, and in 2011 he formed the Japanese Federation of World Martial Skills Institute Federation (Seikai BuJutsu Kan Renmei). WMKF over decades have seen other styles become a member such as Hapkido, Taekwon-Do, KarateDo, Kenpo, Si Lum Kung-Fu, Tai Chi, Arnis, Tang Soo Do, and SenkiDo, just to name a few, this is why we had to expand our Mission
and Federation. GrandMaster Derman B. Hodge Sr, was elected as its first president in 1986 and was named its first Head-Master (Kwan Jang). Holding the ranks at that time of 7th Degree Black Belt in Hapkido and 6th Degree Black Belt in Tae Kwon Do, he is also the founder of the MooSul Kwan System of Martial Arts and Hosin-Do Dae Pung Kwan ( The Great Storm School of Self Defense.)

SCIENTIFIC INSTRUCTION
We believe that the more a martial artist knows about the techniques he is performing, the better he will understand them and the less tempted he will be to make unwarranted and inadvisable changes. While we recognize that evolution is inevitable in the martial arts, we choose to make any changes slowly and only following careful analysis and testing. In this way, the ancient martial arts traditions can be preserved and
passed along with greater understanding and meaning. We have found that there are two basic martial arts organizations -- those who tell their members exactly how to do everything and thus smother them by treating them as if they were children, and those martial arts organizations which simply sell certificates without ever giving any guidance. The World Moosul Kwan Federation is the exception to the rule. We are looking to develop a special type of martial artist: one who is aware of the origin and meaning of the traditions and of the martial arts and respectful towards them, knowledgeable about the scientific principles and laws which form the foundation of all truly effective martial arts techniques, and open-minded and respectful towards all martial artists of
good reputation regardless of art, style or rank.
