KUMYEDO TRAINING WITH GRANDMASTER JANG
Not even a blizzard on a Sunday can defeat a warrior when he or she has committed themselves to practice. On 24 January, 2016, with many inches of snow on the ground, we were honored to host Grandmaster Hyo-Seon Jang who traveled from Korea to share his experience and insights in sword-training. Masters and students traveled from as far as 2 hours to attend this workshop guided by a fluid, impressive, and stoic Grandmaster Jang.
The first session was for advanced students, the Masters. The training began with greeting, bowing, and meditating; they then started warm-ups with simple kicking techniques and holding postures, intended to gradually but thoroughly get their energy flowing. Watching the Masters move through Kigong patterns and footwork got me thinking about how difficult it can be to make something look effortless. They demonstrated their sword skills through patterns, and seeing that I knew they had taken years to learn; and no doubt they fought hard against the desire to give in or give up.
Good Reasons to Enroll Your Child in Martial Arts Classes
In today’s modern society that seems to glorify violence on every form of media from TV, movies, video games and music it may seem like a poor idea to enroll your child in a martial arts learning school. Although the genre of martial arts action movies is always rife with gratuitous violence it may surprise most people to know that martial arts training can be very beneficial to children.

Journey to Become Master Beusse
Recently a friend asked me what I felt the benefits of Tae Kwon Do training are for me and what I feel my purpose is now that I’ve joined the SUSA program, so I will try to explain.
Personally, the greatest benefit has been time spent with my family, especially my son David. When he was 5 years old he expressed interest in joining Yoo’s Martial Arts but he was too young for the children’s class. However, he could attend family classes if he were with a sibling or a parent! So he and I decided to do it together and we signed up immediately. David and I trained for 9 years together through every belt rank all the way to 3rd degree black belt. We had a great journey together that we’ll always remember.
