Hong Hi; creating memorable moments for both myself and students each and every day; teaching, mentoring and guiding students towards their black belts and ultimate success in life. Outside of the martial arts, what other things, including family and friends are important to you? Do you enjoy any hobbies? With his children, Tabby, Heidi & Dustin My children are the most important thing in the world to me. When people ask who I consider myself to be, my answer is simple: ”I am both a father and a martial artist.” Before you can understand others, you must first know yourself. It is good to know who you are. My son Dustin (17) is a Tae Kwon Do black belt and is working towards his Sin Moo Hapkido rank. My daughters Heidi (15) and Tabby (13) are beautiful and are talented athletes. I am fortunate that each of my kids are honest, loving, academically inclined and physically gifted…I am indeed a proud father! Through thick and thin, it is your family that is always there. Both my mother, Babs, who I lost to cancer in 2007, and my stepfather, Don McDermott, were always there to support me every step of the way. My father D. Kenneth MacKenzie and stepmother Elisa are my biggest fans. I thank my mother for my stubborn and persistent nature and my father for my physical gifts. I am also rich in that I am surrounded by the best of friends. My first hobby is everything martial arts. I collect historical pieces, traditional weapons and have accumulated a vast library. I have over 1000 books, more than 450 of which are martial arts books, many signed by the author. My grandmother was a librarian and I learned to value literature at a young age. I have also always been a classic car enthusiast. My current collection includes a 1954 Austin Healey 100-4 BN1, a 1955 Chevy, and a 1968 Jaguar XKE. I hope to someday race vintage cars. In addition, I have two other unusual hobbies: Collecting WWII memorabilia and pinball machines. I am also an avid swimmer, and enjoy motorcycles, camping, skateboarding and traveling. What is your vision of the future for Korean martial arts? While Tae Kwon Do gained great popularity and continues to thrive, I believe that Hapkido/Sin- Moo Hapkido is just coming into its own. In the coming decade, I look for Sin Moo Hapkido to gain wider appeal. As the President of the ‘World Sin Moo Hapkido Federation’ (www.WorldSinMooHapkidoFederation.com), DoJuNim Ji Han Jae’s world governing body for Hapkido, I intend on expanding the art, and bringing unity to the many Hapkido/Sin Moo Hapkido factions. Regarding the future, we all have some good work to do ahead of us. As many academics would agree, mankind faces greater global challenges today than in any other time in recorded history. Disease, war, poverty, starvation, downward-spiraling global economies, global warming, etc., are but a few of the real concerns. Even with this, the martial arts spirit remains one of unshakable optimism. Optimism dictates that the best is still to come. Together, one student at a time, I believe that we as martial artists and teachers can take the lead in rebuilding this world…a better world, one student at a time.
