Kang Do Won Martial Arts Institute was founded by Grand Master Richard J. Lewis, who is one of a minority of American martial artists to merit certification as an International Master Black Belt from the Kuk Ki Won, located in Seoul, Korea.

In 2015, Grand Master Lewis transferred ownership and sole educational responsibility and authority to his son, Senior Master Gary M. Hotchkiss, 7th Degree Black Belt.
