Grand Master Rudy Timmerman
In 1950, GM Rudy Timmerman began training in Holland, where he was born, and he continued to practise in Canada after his family moved there in 1958. Originally he studied Jiu Jitsu and Catch as Catch Can; however, when those arts were not available to him in Canada, he began to study the arts of Kuk Sool Hap Ki Do and Tae Kwon Do under Grandmasters Pak In Suk and Pak Sung Bok.
The NKMAA was founded by Grand Master Rudy W. Timmerman in 1974 with the desire to provide a reliable source of martial art instruction, information, and certification for its members. GM Timmerman began his martial art career more than fifty years ago and has since provided invaluable guidance into the many aspects of Korean martial art training.
GM Timmerman was promoted to 9th Dahn by Grand Master In Sun Seo of the World Kido Federation in 2004.
Some of GM Timmerrman’s accomplishments include:
- Canadian Black Belt Hall of Fame Inductee
