FATHER OF TAEKWONDO IN
INDIA – GRANDMASTER JIMMY R. JAGTIANI

In my
teen age, I was an emaciated youth, who preferred to stay aloof from the strong
thought of violence. I never got involved in squabble and fisticuffs with any
one even in the war ravaged blood soaked in South Vietnam. When I was born, my
parents were running a very successful business. The life was comfortable and
they also preferred to stay away from violence and nuisance people in order to
lead a peaceful life.
