Taekwon-Do International is very proud to welcome 9th Dan Grandmaster Dato’ Dr. Sabree Salleh to the union effective January 1, 2010.

Recognized worldwide for his generous contributions to Taekwon-Do and it’s popularity, Grandmaster Sabree Salleh recently chose to join the union due to his long standing relationship with our president and founder Grandmaster Kim. He began learning Taekwon-Do in the early 1960′s and lives in Selangor, Malaysia.

With Master Kim, Chicago, 1981

As a 3rd dan, he was chosen by General Choi to take more than 20,000 photographs used in the publication of the International Taekwon-Do Federation Encyclopedia. His relationship with the General remained close over the years and he helped care for him in the 1980s and 90s prior to his passing.

   Dearest Grand Master Sabree Saleh,

   I am looking forward to meeting you in Kuala Lumpur when we are all going to travel with Grand Master Vince Palumbo to the martial art event in Kuching, and we will be doing a special stop-over in K.L. on our way to this event.

   We are being awarded the prestigious titles at the ‘Hall of Fame’ event being held in Kuching, and I am very proud to say that I have been voted as ‘Grand Master Of The Year’ with that Organisation.

   I have been awarded this title because of my extensive teaching in United Kingdom, Philippines, Poland, Germany, New Zealand, Korea, USA and Australia, where I have taught empty hands and feet combat
   fighting, grappling, and Filipino Weaponry.

   I am looking forward to seeing you in Kuala Lumpur real soon!

   Regards from Grand Master ‘Count’ Christopher Nasilowski 10th Dan.
