On June 17th 2005, Scott Karpiuk received his Mastership
Title from Grand Master Soon Ho Lee and the World Traditional
Taekwondo Union. Master Karpiuk was a member of the largest
mastership class in ATA’s history, and is the first
ever Master from Canada. The induction ceremony took place
during Opening Ceremonies for World Championships in Little
Rock Arkansas. Over 10,000 spectators witnessed this historic
event which centred around the 50th Anniversary of Taekwondo.
Master Karpiuk started his training at Baptist Bible College,
Springfield Missouri in 1984. In addition to martial arts
training, Master Karpiuk graduated with an Education Degree
from the college. He received his Taekwondo instructorship
in 1987 while attending the first ever Instructor’s
Camp in Korea.
With over 20 years of experience in martial arts, in addition
to a degree in Secondary Education, Master Karpiuk is known
for his excellence in instruction, and his ability to bring
out the best in his students.
Master Karpiuk has traveled extensively across the United
States, to the Philippines and Europe teaching and demonstrating
Taekwondo. As an original member of the Breaking Point Demonstration

opportunity to speak to young people about making positive
life choices and how to deal with Drugs, Alcohol and Peer
Pressure. Master Karpiuk was instrumental in bringing Grand
Master Lee's style of Taekwondo to Canada. Master Karpiuk operates schools in Fraser Heights, Newton,
