Edward B. Sell

Edward B. Sell is the founder of the United States Chung Do Kwan Association (Uscdka) and the only non-oriental to be recognized by the World Tae Kwon Do Federation as a 9th Dan Black Belt in the Chung Do Kwan school of Taekwondo, making him the highest ranked non-oriental Tae Kwon Do practitioner in the world. In 1967 he began the "Korea Tae Kwon Do Association of America" in Trenton, Michigan. In 1974, he renamed his organization the "United States Chung Do Kwan Association" , which currently contains nearly 250,000 members and over 4,000 black belts. Grandmaster Sell was a member of the United States Air Force from 1959 to 1967. For much of this time, he was stationed at Osan Air Base in Korea, where he began to study Tae Kwon Do.

In 1969 he published America's first Tae Kwon Do training manual, "Forces of Tae Kwon Do", and he has been featured on the cover of the Tae Kwon Do Times twice, in September 1988 and June 1997.

His wife, Brenda J. Sell, is an 8th Dan Black Belt, and is the only recognized Female American TaeKwonDo Grandmaster.
