February 7th, 2009 Instructor Class at Frampton's Karate in New York
Kwan Jang Nim H.C. Hwang with Ko Dan Ja members and instructor dan members at recent Regional Instructor's Class.
This past saturday, members of the U.S. Federation (Soo Bahk Do Moo Duk Kwan) of the World Moo Duk Kwan met for instructor's class at the Frampton Karate School in New Windsor, NY. The membership has a regular scheduled instructor class once a month at various locations through the Region 2 Area.
Master Bonefont and Kwan Jang Nim H.C. Hwang, please note the new World Moo Duk Kwan patch the Kwan Jang Nim is wearing, he briefly mentioned how it will used in the near future, each country member will have their country name at the bottom of the patch like the one you see here for member country, Korea.
Allen Ruqus, Sa bom Nim, Frank Bonsignore, Sa Bom Nim/Charter Member, and Master Boenfont, take a minute to pose for a small group photo at the instructor's class.
I just want to take a moment to thank the Kwan Jang Nim for his time and guidance, and to all the senior leadership who showed up to support this event. A graditude of thanks to all the Ko Dan Ja members who taught the mini sessions for all the dans in attendance. An excellent review of hyung, Il Soo Sik, Ho Sin Sool and other requirements helped those in attendance understand further the importance of standarization and Moo Do.
Soo Bahk!
62nd Anniversary of the MOO DUK KWAN (NOV 9th)

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!Mr. Bonefont
