In Memory of Jae Joon Kim Dan Bon #38

"Master Nam Kim sadly announces the death of his father
Grand Master Jae Joon Kim."

The sad announcement of the passing of Grand Master Jae Joon Kim. He was one of the few pioneers to come to the United States in the late 50's to help spread the art of the Late Great Grandmaster Hwang Kee, Founder of the Moo Duk Kwan®. His Dan Bon in the Moo Duk Kwan ®was #38. He passed away on January 9, 2007 at the age of 78.

As many may know, myself and several other Ko Dan Ja in the U.S. Federation were once associated with his organization before returning to our roots in the Moo Duk Kwan®, under the guidance of our late Founder and Kwan Jang Nim Hwang Kee. I'd like to express our sincere condolences to the Kim family. Another great loss to the martial arts world.

If you would like to donate or contribute to the family of the late Grand Master Kim, please send any inquiries to Kim’s Karate, 13976 W. Hillsborough Ave. Tampa, Florida 33635

For our Spanish Speaking Brothers and Sisters:
(Written by Pedro J. Vangas, Jr., Sa Bom Nim, Designee and President of the Puerto Rican Soo Bahk Do® Federation)

Una corta nota para notificarte que el Gran Maestro Jae Joon Kim fallecio el dia 9 de enero de 2007. Como tu sabes nosotros estuvimos asociado a su organizacion y siempre lo recordaremos. Una gran perdida para las artes marciales.

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!
