Kum Jung Horang Yee Mu Sul is a system of Martial Art, developed by the esteemed Professor Terryl D. Richardson, who has dedicated his life to the Martial Arts, and Martial Art History for more than 37 years. Professor Terryl D. Richardson - September, 19th 1962 Started learning the self discipline of a martial warrior from the very young age of eight years old, when he was taught boxing skills by his uncle, Harlen Marbley, (1968 Olympic Bronze Medalist – American Boxing Team). At the age of eleven Professor Richardson was introduced to his first of several Martial Arts forms/systems; the art of Wu-Shu. He was introduced to this system by a neighborhood friend, Sijo Anthony Graham. Professor Richardson achieved his first of many black belts, in this system, from Sijo Graham.

As Professor Richardson continued his pursuit of the discipline of Wu-Shu, he began to understand and appreciate the benefits and diversity of other Martial Arts systems. This led him to seek out other teachers such as Grand Master Gregory Kennedy of Simba Dojang, who became like a big brother to him and introduced him to the art of Tae Kwon Do. Later, Grand Master Kennedy introduced him to Senior Master Lawrence Holmes of Simba Dojang, with whom Professor Richardson continued to train and study the art of Tae Kwon Do. Professor Richardson also received a black belt in this system.

Professor Richardson also enlisted in the U.S. Army, where he honed his boxing skills as well as continued his martial arts training and theoretical studies. During his tour of duty, he held several titles, such as Post Lightweight Boxing Champ for Fort Gordon, GA, and Welter Weight kickboxing champ in Tacoma, WA. Professor Richardson also served as an Alternate for the U. S. Army Boxing Team, and earned his Army Air Assault and Airborne wings as well as his Jungle Expert patch. Also during his tour he helped redesign the hand to hand combat course for the Air Assault Academy.

After Professor Richardson left the Army he was introduced to Grand Master Serge Baubil the founder of Hoshinkido Hapkido. He trained in this system and received his 1st Dan. Professor Richardson then found Grand Master Joe Parrish, who trained him in the system of Tang Soo Do.
