Master Park studied with Master Yoon, Byung-in the founder of Chang Moo Kwan (one of the most prominent martial art systems in history).

Master Baird is no different in that respect.

Grandmaster Baird and Arthur Ashe were presented in the pilot of the series, “The Otherside of Victory” first aired the half hour before the Super Bowl.

In 2006 he celebrated his 30th year anniversary of teaching and almost 47 years of training in martial arts. With this and many wonderful accomplishments behind him, Grand Master Baird isn’t close to slowing his tireless pace of mastering himself and guiding others to do the same.
