MasterMarcel Bedard, was born in 1954, and is
a 7th degree black belt. He has trained under Grand Master Kwon Jae Hwa (I.T.F.) &
Grand Master K.J. Lee (W.T.F.)

He started his martial arts career in 1975 at the age
of 21. After reaching his 1st degree Black belt in
1978 Master Bedard wished to branch out from the standard semi-contact that was the base of
I.T.F. (International Tae Kwon Do Federation)
to the more demanding world of full-contact competition. Master Bedard transferred to
the W.T.F. and excelled through strong dedication and his will to succeed. Master Bedard continued on in Tae Kwon Do training and in 1982 became the
United States Full-Contact W.T.S. Champion.
In 1987 Master Bedard retired, with a spectacular record, from full-contact fighting, and in 1989 was promoted to the rank of 5th degree or Master. In October 2008 he was promoted to 7th degree-Grand Master.

He has trained thousands of students in his career, including his two sons. Master has held classes all across the United States and Canada; and has opened martial arts academies across Florida and
in Quebec, Canada as well. He has held clinics and seminars in both countries and helped develop a program for the Developmental Resource Center- under Dr. Levy, as an alternative to the Juvenile
System, for wayward & troublesome young men.

Master’s newest endeavor is to bring his knowledge, experience, unparalleled teaching style and flare for Tae Kwon Do to Western Michigan.
