He was a license Jump Master. He has taught Hapkido to people from all branches of the military and law enforcement. Hapkido, "the way of coordinated power," is based on the water theory, a philosophical martial art that dates back over 1500 years to a famous Indian monk, Bodi Dharma. Hapkido evolved from the elite ancient fighting arts of the Korean Hwarang warriors. (Flower Knights). GM Gagne is the author of five books and producer of nine DVD's that are used all over the world by Distant Learning students, even Secrete Service use them.  Click on the Distant Learning Program button for more information.

At the age of 61 years old he still competes in World Competition, he just tested in Korea for Masters Degree in two fairly new Korean Martial arts Hankido and Hankumdo.
 
These two arts are so unique and rare that he just became the highest in America.

He tested, actually physically tested in front of a board of black belts, usually at his age and his high distinction of a Grandmaster, you would think he would not test but just be awarded this next Back Sash (Masters Degree).
