Regional Ko Dan Ja, Studio Owners, and Kyo Sa Begin Their Annual Training Program - Kwan Jang Nim H.C. Hwang Conducts First Class Of 2006.

Two photos start our visual journey in Moo Do. Our Federation Headquarters Do Jang was the scene today and the beginning of annual training for Ko Dan Ja, Studio Owners and invited Kyo Sa. Our Kwan Jang Nim, H.C. Hwang conducted the training based on further development in the use of our "Huri" (waist) and understanding the concept of "open and close" in our techniques and hyung. After the training session, John Cuoco, Sa bom Nim, studio owner of Hwang Karate in Freehold, NJ, shared with everyone his personal tips on developing their own curriculum that will increase retention in your studio. The presentation was filled with concrete examples of how to keep your students by providing suggestions in variations to a Soo Bahk Do™ Moo Duk Kwan® style curriculum. Thank you Cuoco, Sa bom Nim for sharing your ideas and curriculum with us.

SOO BAHK!

2008 Ko Dan Ja Instructional Classes Begin...

KO DAN JA instructional training classes for 2008 started this past Saturday, February 9th, at Keith Bennett's Soo Bahk Do in Kingston, New York.

Thanks to Mullen Sa bom Nim, Regional Examiner, for putting out the schedule and organizing the training sessions.

There were approximately 30-35 who attended, that's Ko Dan Ja and Dan members together. Ko Dan Ja attendance was light, however, Bonsignore Sa bom Nim, Johns Sa bom Nim, Frampton Sa bom Nim, Morey Sa bom Nim, Bennett Sa Bom Nim (Host) Weber Sa bom Nim and several others were in attendance as well as 5th and 4th dan Ko Dan Ja.

Speaking on the Sa Dan training experience, we covered our required hyungs and received excellent personal instruction from Johns Sa bom Nim and insightful instruction from Bonsignore Sa bom Nim. Aside from Mullens Sa Bom Nim in attendance, other Ko Dan Ja in attendance were: Laileu Sa Bom Nim, Master Bonefont, Ruqus Sa Bom Nim, Stinehour Sa bom Nim and Brown Sa bom Nim.

The Ko Dan Ja class ran overtime as the dan members in attendance started their instructor's class. They were carefully instructed by Frampton Sa bom Nim and Bonsignore Sa bom Nim.

All said... it was an excellent opportunity for everyone to learn something. I had a great time and it was wonderful to see everyone. Thank you Bennett Sa bom Nim for hosting the sessions... even with all the snow ...which didn't turn out to be much... there was some very good training!!!!!

Looking forward to the next one. If you are a Ko Dan Ja in the region and don't know when the next training session is scheduled contact your regional examiner, Mullen Sa bom Nim and request to be placed on the email notification list or contact HQ for more information. DON'T have a class photo, but I'm hoping that Frampton Sa bom Nim will send one out shortly, as soon as I have it, I'll post it here.

C'mon Region 2... let's represent... see you at the next training session.

Last... but certainly not least... I wish to thank my seniors who were in attendance, and wish to thank them for their dedication to our art.

SOO BAHK!
