Later, after the Korean War Armistice Agreement was signed in 1953, Lee started teaching the returning Yun Moo Kwan Kwon Bop Bu members at the Hankuk Chaeyuk Kwan Dojang. He had conflicts with Chong-woo Lee and left to start his own annex Kwan by setting up a tent at a high school. Later, Chong-woo Lee changed the Yun Moo Kwan Kwon Bop Bu's name to Jidokwan. Kyo-yoon Lee states that Han Moo Kwan is from Choson Yun Moo Kwan Kwon Bop Bu, not Jidokwan.[1]

In his time, Kyo Yoon Lee continued to be active in the Kukkiwon and served on the High Dan/Poom Black Belt promotion committee of the Kukkiwon.
