Ray Nikiel was a member of Grand Master Chong Lee's first
class when he started teaching in
Montreal earning his blackbelt in the first Tae Kwon Do blackbelt exam in
Canada. Ray was
also one of the first Canadians to attain the rank of Fifth Dan Master
Instructor. Ray was
Chong Lee's chief instructor for more than twenty years and during that time
taught more than
50,000 students who have won more than 50 Gold Medals in Canadian, Pan-Am,
and World
Championships. Included in the list of champions are Darrell Henegan, Jersey
Long and Serge
Langlois who were the only Canadians to win medals (Gold, Silver, and Bronze,
respectively)
at the First World Games in Santa Clara, Calif. in 1981. He has trained the
RCMP in Montreal
and the Amerindian Police Force in Roberval, Quebec. As a competitor,
Ray captained the
Canadian team that dominated the competition scene during the 70's both in
Canada and the
U.S. During that time he bested Mike Warren (once in seven attempts),
Joe Hayes twice and
Louis Delgado, one of the only fighters ever to defeat Chuck Norris. Ray
traveled the world
extensively, fighting, demonstrating, promoting and teaching Tae Kwon Do.
Ray organized the
historic "Battle of
Champions" which featured the Canadian Team vs the USA's incredible
Mike Warren, Albert Cheeks, Gerard Robbins and the legendary Joseph
Hayes. Click

Stan Nikiel was a member of Chong Lee’s team that gave the
first Taekwondo
demonstrations in Canada at the Korean Pavilion during Expo 67 in Montreal.
Like his brother, Ray, he traveled throughout Canada and the United States
competing in open tournaments that often saw Tae Kwon Do fighters at a
disad-
vantage in the primarily Japanese-style competitions. Stan quickly realized
that
in these open tournaments the cards were stacked against the TDK stylists.
His
philosophy quickly changed. “If you knock out your opponent, it
doesn’t matter
what the judges say, you won”. Stan was disqualified for excessive contact
in al-
most every tour nament he entered after that. His six-foot height often
landed
him in with the heavyweights despite being only 140 pounds, as divisions
were
split according to “smallest in the front and tallest in the back“.
His whip-like
kicks landed, more often than not, too strongly in the faces of his
opponents.

Darrell
Henegan became the first North American in Taekwondo history
to defeat Korea in a Gold Medal match
for a World Championship title. "The person who not only told me I
could do it but Also showed me the
way was Ray Nikiel,
my teacher and friend for more than 30 years." says Darrell.
Between 1984 and 1996,
Darrell started a professional career in Kickboxing. With a record of 25-2-0
(20 KO’s), he won two World Cham-
pionships (FFKA and ISKA) and successfully defended his titles eight times.
In 1996 Darrell returned to Tae Kwon
do. By winning the Canadian Championships in 1999 and 2001, he became the
only Canadian to win Gold Medals in
four consecutive decades (1979 - 2001). Darrrell says, "The teacher
and pupil can do nothing without the
Master, ...and Grandmaster Chong Soo Lee is the Tae Kwon Do Pioneer of all
of us here in Canada."
Darrell also says "All of this would not have been possible without
the unwavering desire for perfection
I inherited from my mother, the great Jazz
Vocalist, Ms. Ranee
Lee." Darrell says his mother was recently
awarded the Order of Canada for Outstanding Achievement.

Dawn Lefebvre is
a 6th Degree Black Belt former Canadian National Champ,winning the
1st Canadian Taekwondo Championships in 1986. She has trained under the Founder
of
Taekwondo in Canada Grand Master Chong Lee since 1972. She opened a successful
Taekwondo school in 1987 when she relocated from Montreal to Whistler. The
school
specializes in WTF Olympic style Taekwondo. Her dream was to open up a school
in
a small town because she loved the sport so much. She desired to share her
passion with
others and hoped they would come to feel that Tae`Kwon Do is a life long
journey. She
has also taught Tae-Bo kick-boxing, a combination of martial art kicks and
punches
moving to the rhythm of music. Her accomplishments inspired and motivated
Canadian
women and demonstrated to them that they could be successful in anything
they tried. She
was one of the first women in Canada to excel in Tae Kwon Do. A fierce
competitor
with a gentle heart, Dawn was instrumental in increasing the number of women
participa-
ting Tae Kwon Do in Canada. - Submitted by Ray
