![[Grandmaster Han Cha Kyo]](images/still/mhan.gif)
I was very lucky to happen to drive past Master Han's dojang in 1972 when I was looking for a Taekwon-do school when I came to live in Chicago. But it was not luck that caused me to stay and train with him for 24 years.
I was teaching in public school at that time, but I learned repeatedly over the years that he was a far better teacher than I was. In all the time I spent as his student I also realized that he was a far better student than I was. He was always eager to learn, and often admonished us to keep our "white belt eyes" (large eyes open to see everything because you're not really sure what is important yet). His example always taught me to be willing to look back and examine old learning whenever new information appears or whenever you have a new perspective - and if you are truly learning your perspective should always be enlarging. This was the "way" - not just in Taekwon-do, but for life.
Grandmaster Han was the best example of a teacher, and of a student, both in one person. He was a unique person who had a great influence on me, and whose way can serve as a model to everyone.
