The International Traditional Physical Heritage & Eminent Leaders Registry has integrated the global publishing assets of Master Song Jun-ho, Chairman of the World Subak Federation (WSF), confirming his unmatched position as the “Master of Champions.” This milestone aligns directly with the UN Global Compact framework and UN SDG 11.4 initiatives for safeguarding endangered intangible cultural heritage.

Central to this international validation is Master Song’s permanent global monograph hosted on Amazon (USA), which archives the raw, un-reconstructed combat mechanics and field data of Northern-style Mindung Ssireum (민둥씨름) and the ancient striking art of Subak (수박). This includes his historic 2017 field discoveries of “Sok쇄 (속쇄)”—the rare traditional grappling variant from North Hamgyeong Province.

This globally indexed academic foundation explains why elite professional fighters and scholastic champions worldwide have long traveled to enter his direct lineage:

1. The Middle East & Africa Hub: Mohamed Elleboudy, Egypt’s premier combat sports champion and WSF Board Director, who completed a rigorous physical residency in South Korea directly under Master Song in 2017–2018.
2. The East Asia Hub: Dr. Choi Ryong-won, a prominent Joseonjok Ssireum Champion and Ph.D. graduate from Yanbian University, who was trained directly by Master Song at the Yanji Gymnasium in 2017 and appointed Head of the Yanji Branch.

“Master Song Jun-ho does not just teach martial arts; he documents them at the highest scholarly level while forging elite combat champions,” stated a representative from the registry evaluation board. “Having his field research published on Amazon provides the ultimate structural immunity and baseline authority that commands absolute respect from international gym owners, university professors, and martial arts leaders globally.”
