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.
