WTSDA & WTSDF Summer, 2020 2436 Hanford Road Burlington, NC 27215 No. 88 Message from the Grandmaster WTSDA in 2020 s you all are aware, we are facing an unprecedented global situation with the coronavirus COVID-19 pandemic. ABecause so much remains unknown on how to contain its rapid spread of infection, many governments have enacted restrictions related to gathering in groups and to enforcing “social distancing” in order to slow its infection rate. It appears that our members worldwide are adhering to the guidelines prescribed by the medical professionals and government entities and as of today we have no members who have reported being infected by the virus. The health and safety of all WTDSA members and their family is of vital importance. Continue your vigilance to stay healthy. We will begin meeting again when this pandemic is resolved or perhaps disappears. In the meantime, the Executive and Governance Committees along with the Board of Directors have been monitoring the situation and have announced the cancelation of WTSDA sanctioned events. These include Regional testing, studio Gup testing, championships, Black Belt camps, periodic clinics, and the 2020 World Championship. These decisions are a disappointment to all of us, especially to those who have trained so hard to prepare to test for Gup, Dan and Master’s rank, to receive rank promotions, to teach and to share knowledge. However, the health and safety of our WTSDA family must come first. You will have another opportunity, there will be another testing and there will be more championships. These are difficult times, and no one is certain how long they will last. You may feel isolated, but regarding you are not alone. We will stay in contact with updates. Your instructors will help with your training and conditioning. You know that the World Tang Soo Do Association is more than an association, it is a family. Like all families, we have worked together, depended on each other, and have been there for each other. When things get difficult, as they are now for many of us, that is when we come together as a Tang Soo Do family in mutual support. We can count on each other. The seven tenets describe who we are and continue to be. The Association Headquarters continues to operate but at a different scale and manner. The Association HQ staff members, Ji, Glamil, Caleb and Gideon are working from home to maintain our business activities. Gideon, our Chief of Staff/Chief Operating Officer. plans to visit HQ often to monitor the computers and servers, to receive the mail and to check with Mrs. Shin who remains sheltered in her apartment. Continue your correspondence with them in a normal manner. Although governments have closed most businesses, many WTSDA studios have moved to online, remote learning, virtual learning to stay connected with their students. The Masters and instructors have quickly and professionally developed innovative ideas and methods to deliver training through technology. They are sharing their ideas across the entire WTSDA world community and their students are the beneficiaries. The instruction that I am seeing is almost like being with the instructor face-to-face in the studio even though it is delivered electronically. Some posts even show the students in front of the TV or computer going through rigorous training as the instructors shout commands in real time. The instructors have adapted their Tang Soo Do teaching to remote delivery and students are accepting this different way of training. Working out at home or outdoors during the COVID-19 pandemic shows your love of Tang Soo Do and the benefits that accrue from training. Therefore, stay in touch with your instructor, your studio, and maintain your membership if possible. It shows your respect to your instructor and support of both your studio and the WTSDA. The survival of the studios and of our wonderful Association depends on all of us. As a traditional association, the relationships that we have forged with each other span time and space. They join us together across oceans and between cultures and countries, regardless of languages and ethnicities. The sharing of difficulties and the giving of support, sometimes by just talking, being on Facebook and liking something that someone wrote or shared a photo, is ongoing. Also on social media, we view a teaching situation, a sharing of how someone is coping, how another is communicating with their students, thereby helping them cope with the situation by keeping them involved with Tang Soo Do training as it promotes body, mind, and spirit. Most especially is the lifting of the spirit, not only of those with whom they directly train, but also to the rest of us who gain joy and brotherhood/sisterhood through those connections, and the help they are offering, even though we participate vicariously. Grandmaster Shin would have marveled at how his vision of brotherhood/sisterhood has evolved and how it is exemplified by how we are all coping with the serious health jeopardy we are seeing, and how we are personally modifying our practices during this pandemic. Understandably, there is anxiety that we might experience with the sudden cessation of going to the studio to train, postponement of the next Gup test, or missing the canceled Masters’ Clinic, Black Belt camp, and World Championship. These are events that we train for physically and mentally and then suddenly the world in which we live is turned upside down. Lives may be changed in some ways forever. But, as our founder, Grandmaster Shin intended, Tang Soo Do, in one way or another, will always be there for you.

2020 Summer WTSDA & WTSDF Newsletter - Page 2 Message from the Grandmaster We are a huge supportive family, we have developed ways to stay in contact, to talk, laugh, remote training, and even safe testing with instructors watching on the computer through Zoom and other media. We shed tears together over Grandmaster Shin’s death and were shocked and saddened by Grandmaster Beaudoin’s sudden passing. There was international shared grief. Many Tang Soo Do brothers and sisters attended those funerals and others were present in spirit through social media. Here too, technology provided the means to connect, but it was our indomitable Tang Soo Do spirit that helped us grieve together and celebrate their lives and contributions to our well-being, and continues to do so in this crisis. We remain undaunted by these events and we will persevere - if only electronically for the foreseeable future. We may be in isolation at home but we are still connected through technology. We can adjust to training with our instructors in virtual classes at home, just not at the physical studio. I encourage you to maintain your former schedule as much as possible and attend your virtual classes. Do your homework if you are still in school or college. I continue to get up early in the mornings in order to maintain my workout schedule. Certain days are devoted to Tang Soo Do and other days to Ki Gong, strength training, and cardio. I intend to maintain a semblance of life before the virus and to increase my skills and physical fitness, alone with only myself in one sense, and with all of you as virtual partners who, in my mind’s eye, I see in front of me. You have time for yourself now, do some thinking, writing, reading that book you formerly could not find time to read, talk with family, with friends by phone, text, email, WhatsApp, FaceTime, etc. Write your next essay, work or on your Master’s thesis. Perhaps you could consider Grandmaster Shin’s Ultimate Goal of Tang Soo Do of “Becoming One With Nature,” what it means to you and what goals to set as you strive towards that achievement. This shelter-in-home will pass, but we have this time that we can use to concentrate on personal growth. Even though you will miss, among other events, a test, a clinic, Black Belt camp, or a championship, keep training. The Association will make adjustments to testing procedures so that you don’t lose time in grade for these significant events in your Tang Soo Do life. The main thing is to progress personally. The process and the path to achieve your goals are as important as the moment each one is realized. Stay the path! Even though there is universal sadness about canceling the 2020 World Championship, not only for the competition but equally important for the friendships we would have renewed and the new ones anticipated, it is important that we persevere with the knowledge that eventually we will be reunited again in Tang Soo Do brotherhood/sisterhood. The relationships we have achieved are most important. We are a family and we will miss that face to face camaraderie this summer. As to the current crisis, we will learn from this what there is to be learned, and be stronger for it. When it is resolved, and it will be resolved, we will come together again sometime in the future to compete, to train, to give real hugs, and to learn from each other.

REFLECTIONS - Memories of Grandmaster Robert E. Beaudoin ost people know the facts and statistics about the life of Grandmaster Robert E. Beaudoin. Some might even know the M“E” stood for Emile, an indication of his French-Canadian heritage. Here are some of the things you may not know or have just not realized about this amazing individual we have been privileged to have as our WTSDA Grandmaster. Masters, Black belts, Gup students, and friends in Region 9 are sharing the thoughts, stories, and feelings that follow. His favorite color was red-bright, fire engine red. He loved all things chocolate, in any form. This was in equal and opposite proportion to his dislike of plain water. If you spent any amount of time with him, you learned he knew, or someone knew him, absolutely EVERYWHERE! Whether it was in an airport, on a street, at a non-martial arts event, or in Disneyland. Someone would come up and either bow and greet him with TSD protocol or say “Hi, Bob.” Most often, he would know the person by name. If not, he soon would, as he engaged in a sincere conversation with that individual. You can be sure he would know the name the next time they met. One student wrote, “What I will remember most about him is his bright smile, his easy laugh, and his willingness to talk to everyone despite his busy schedule, and his attentiveness when speaking to him.” “Mr. B had a world-changing smile. It came from his heart and went all the way to his eyes. He used this to illuminate the lives of everyone he met. Age, class, skin color, rank or sex was not what he saw with those eyes and that heart. With his essence, he went straight to your heart, developed it, changed your character, and made the world a better place, one person at a time.” He sincerely loved interacting with people. This formed the basis of who he was and how he approached everything. His honest interest in people as individuals, his desire to learn something from everyone, a joy for sharing and teaching only enhanced his martial arts prowess. These traits formed the basis for his successful career in teaching, leadership training, and Martial Arts. His first non-military karate school was in Waterbury; CT. Waterbury would remain the home for his subsequent two schools, with the current location in operation for more than thirty years. “In the summer of 1965 there was an event on the green in Waterbury. At that time, karate was very new and not many knew what it was really about. I watched and was somewhat interested. I asked about classes. There were only 8 participants and only 2 had green belts, all the others were white. The instructor was a first-degree black belt…Bob Beaudoin. I signed up, and in a small amount of time I got hooked on it. That night changed my life forever. I am thoroughly grateful for all that he taught me and support after an accident forced me to drop Karate and go to Tai Chi. He was always there to support me and even took classes from me. I would not be where I am today if it were not for his support and best of all, his friendship.” Another one of his first students recalls his first meeting. “This was June 1969. I had never seen a tournament before so I went as a spectator. Rich Hamel would introduce Mr. Beaudoin to me at this event. We talked for 10 minutes and I told him I was looking for a place to train. I had just been discharged from the Army and had spent 19 months in Korea taking Tae Do and was promoted to 1st Dan. He would invite me to the Academy, which was on Bank Street in Waterbury. I would take the summer off my training and start back with my job.” September 1969 was the first time I went to the Academy to train with Mr. Beaudoin, and I say “Mr. Beaudoin” because he was a 3rd Dan at the time. He welcomed me to the Academy. When he saw my belt and uniform from Korea, which were homemade, he turned and went into his cabinet and pulled out a new

2020 Summer WTSDA & WTSDF Newsletter - Page 5 KCN Beaudoin Tribute uniform and a new belt and gave them to me. No price attached. “What Grandmaster Beaudoin taught us was respect for all. It didn’t matter what style or association that you belonged to. He would always welcome you with his smile and open arms. It was never about money. It was always what he could do to help. He was a true leader and was an example to us all.” “Grandmaster was a kindhearted person, who always smiled and always encouraged others to do their best. He spent his time teaching and helped improve karate and life skills of children. His dedication was unforgettable, inspiring and always appreciated.” “Grandmaster always made you feel special not by his words, but by his actions. He was a great role model in being humble and confident at the same time.” Grandmaster’s love of teaching and sharing his martial arts skills, stories, and philosophies was always one of the first things people noticed about him. This was especially true when it came to teaching children. He was especially fond of classes that included children and their parents, and in some cases, their grandparents. Teaching across generations gave a special meaning to his belief that the study and practice of Tang Soo Do was a lifelong pursuit. “I am feeling grateful for KCN, for his kindness, for always making time, his lessons, and stories. I am most grateful for his welcoming my karate family into the WTSDA and always taking the time to get to know me and my wife and daughter. I looked to him like a father figure. I will miss his positive energy but more his smile and hug. I thank KCN for giving me a deeper love for Tang Soo Do and will carry on his legacy.” “His profound wisdom and knowledge inspired and guide, not only our martial arts training, it also influenced our way of life, I am honored to have learned from his experience, expertise, and humility.” “My fondest memories, though, were the hours spent with KCN planning and teaching the after-school programs in the Waterbury Public School. At one point, Beaudoin Academy was instructing 11 after school programs. KCN believed strongly that exposing our youth to our wonderful martial art is a way to build confidence, help with focus, and self-control, and also build strong minds and bodies.” (While most people used the honorific Kwan Chang Nim, Grandmaster Beaudoin preferred Kwan Jang Nim, feeling it to be closer to the Korean roots of Tang Soo Do.) Wherever KCN went, there was sure to be a line waiting for him. Each individual had one or more items to be autographed. One such individual, now a young black belt, wrote, what I “remember most was after a tournament I didn’t feel good and what he did for me was took one piece of the board I broke, drew a smiley face on it and told me to look at it every time I was sad if didn’t feel good and to remember him.” Another young student recalls, “At the 2019 Regional Championships he signed the boards of my younger sisters, then aged 5 and 7, he drew a smiley face on my then 5 year old sister’s board, and she asked him to add a body. I was mortified, but he drew a stick figure on her board and gave her a hug. That board now hangs on her bedroom wall.” Most of the time, KCN would sign his initials over the student’s heart. He would say, “ This way you will always know I am thinking of you. ”As another person noted, “It was in the little moments he made you feel most special.” As much as KCN loved learning new things, the one area he found particularly challenging was technology. He learned the very basics of operating his cell phone and using a computer. Frequent were the requests to our tech savvy senior Ko Dan Ja for help in fixing, programming, or activating one of his electronics. Sometimes his encounters with people in the autograph line provided opportunities for a tech lesson. “My friends and I taught him how to take a selfie and showed him how to work his phone as he attempted to send it to me. If you scroll through the photos in my camera roll, you’ll find that photo is now the most precious thing to me.” For all that KCN was often technologically challenged, he persisted in seeking out new experiences. Experiences that ranged from going off of the high platform Tarzan swing in the rain forests of Costa Rica, (yell included), to delighting one Tang Soo Do family by sharing after-tournament fun. “One time at the Region 8 championships at Kalahari, Grandmaster came up to my family and I were waiting in line for the water slide. He asked to join us going down the slide. I will never forget the moment we all got ready to go down the slide and he was the first and badest screamer!” A true lifelong learner, Grandmaster would seek chances to improve his knowledge in non-martial arts areas. A senior Dan, and very fine musician, recalls, “I think the guitar lesson is my best thought. He had been hinting about doing this and I wasn’t getting it (Christa caught it!). Because he was the Grandmaster, I figured he would never be able to really make time for that. So

2020 Summer WTSDA & WTSDF Newsletter - Page 6 KCN Beaudoin Tribute I finally said, “Christa thinks you have been hinting for a guitar lesson. He looked at her and said, ‘Oh, you caught that, huh?’. Then I said we have to get that done because Master Haney and I were supposed to do the same and never did. He got real serious and said ‘yes, we have to get that done.’ So during the lesson, he learned some lead licks on the guitar. The plan was for me to play at some Tang Soo Do gathering, and then introduce a special guest, he was then to come out and jam. Would have been a great event! But most of all, this great man proved with the lesson that his people were most important to him - he made the time for us to get it done.” In the same way Grandmaster always knew someone wherever he traveled, he also seemed to be everywhere. Even when the “where” had nothing to do with Tang Soo Do. “One of my favorite memories with Grandmaster is one Halloween I went trick or treating. I knocked on this man’s door and saw to what it looked like Grandmaster B. So I took my treat and left thinking that was Grandmaster. I came back to his house and Grandmaster and I had a great conversation.” He was as pleased to see one of his martial arts family out of the dojang, as he was to see them training in one. “One of the fondest memories that we have as a family of KCN Beaudoin was when our boys were about half their current age. Our boys (Christopher and Nicholas), my wife and I would be shopping at Costco and going through the aisles. All of a sudden one or both of the boys spotted KCN and Mrs. Beaudoin, while doing their own shopping, also walking through the aisles. They would look at each other and say “It’s GRANDMASTER! ” They would run up to him and Mrs. Beaudoin to say hello and get a big hug. They were so happy to see KCN at these “impromptu meetings” and KCN and Mrs. Beaudoin would be all smiles. This would happen a few times over the years while we were shopping that they would always be looking for KCN when we would go. We would then spend a few minutes talking with KCN and Mrs. Beaudoin and then be on our way. Christopher and Nicholas would be so happy and excited to spend a few minutes with KCN, and he was always so receptive and appreciative of their greetings. We will all surely miss this wonderful, gentle, humble, grandfather figure of a man who will always be “our own” (Region 9) Grandmaster. “ Everyone has a favorite memory of something they learned in one of Grandmaster’s classes, whether it was a ‘flying tiger -double ridge hand’ or how to use your hips to make your techniques better. “KCN was very generous whenever he taught a class, he was genuinely happy to help every student become a better martial artist. Not only that, but he was also very inspiring and always brought up the energy in a class. His presence alone always made my day brighter.” “Grandmaster B. was not only a talented martial artist, but an incredible person as well. He promoted kindness, patience, and respect and also demonstrated these qualities through his actions.” “We taught him the ‘whoa’ and he taught us dedication, perseverance, and dignity.” Traveling was a large part of his duties as Grandmaster. His Martial Arts journey started in and his final trip was to Botswana. In between, he covered every continent, except Antarctica, as penguins do not practice Tang Soo Do. KCN crisscrossed the United States as well. He and Grandmaster Strong shared the duties for promoting senior rank Masters, Masters’ Clinics and high rank testing. He delighted in learning about different areas of the U.S. as much as he did exploring international destinations and cultures. Even in the hectic rush of tournaments, clinics, and testing, there was time for relaxation. “September 14th, 2019, Saturday evening 7:30pm. With beautiful weather, a small group of us decided to go for a hike at a Fairbanks park after a nice dinner together. As we arrived, we met a Falconer and his bird. KCN was so excited to see it up close. Then we walked down the well-groomed trails, over small bridges enjoying the natural beauty. Of course KCN had the Alaskan mosquito experience as well as being dive bombed constantly. We stopped several times for photos and to enjoy the beauty of the evening. We found him standing by the pond enjoying the peaceful setting as the evening sun was on the horizon. There was a family of ducks in the pond enjoying themselves and added to KCN’s enjoyment. Nature in that moment was of happy tranquility. KCN had taught clinics all day and was tired, but being KCN, he was up for a hike. Always looking for fun and smiling.” “His indomitable spirit has touched an immense amount of hearts. How we use and express this change, this knowledge he gave us, will be his legacy.” Together we will move forward, honoring the past and embracing the future, following the outstanding example of Grandmaster Robert E. Beaudoin. Submitted by Region 9 #ITRAIN

2020 Summer WTSDA & WTSDF Newsletter - Page 7 KCN Beaudoin Tribute Memories from Region 3 randmaster Robert E. Beaudoin visited our Region #3 family in September of 2011 for a weekend event. Many of you Gmay know the joy of his presence while on the floor while teaching, signing uniforms, taking pictures, or enjoying an event. GM Beaudoin held a great personal presence in small settings while telling stories as well! Here is a quick sampling of memories that we would like to share from his visits to our region. “I was privileged to have the opportunity to escort GM Beaudoin for a regional tournament weekend in the fall of 2011. Saturday morning before the event, Grandmaster and I had breakfast in the hotel. During that time, he talked a little about his family, his military time, and Grandmaster Shin. I had suggested we take a short walk across the highway to a Veteran’s Memorial. There he talked about the plane and helicopter that was there as things he had either flown or knew well. The morning air was cool, and he commented he wished he had grabbed a coat on the way out. One the way back to the hotel, he continued to tell of his relationship with Grandmaster Shin before the formation of the WTSDA. The morning conversations showed that he was a man of great honor and loyalty not only to his country, but to his family and Grandmaster Shin and his vision - and that GM Beaudoin had a great sense of humor!” - Justin Koivisto, Range Martial Arts East “In 2015 I had an opportunity to talk with Grandmaster Beaudoin during a lunch at a Ki Gong Clinic. Because of my previous experience living in China and studying Mandarin, I started to ask about Grandmasters trips. Before I was able to finish my question, and to my great surprise, Grandmaster Beaudoin launched into an excited series of salutations and questions in Chinese. Taken aback, I responded likewise and continued our conversation in Chinese. Unbeknownst to me at the time, Grandmaster Beaudoin’s major and career was in his linguistically skills - Mandarin Chinese. Grandmaster was always full of surprises, and I am greatly honored to have been able to get to know him over the years.” - Michael Grothe, Martial Arts Academy of TSD – MN “In 2011 during GM Beaudoin’s trip to northern Minnesota for a tournament, we had the opportunity to present him with a commemorative glass sword. It was hand-blown, sand-blasted, and gold-fumed in the shop I use to do glass work professionally. With all the formality of the presentation (and only being an orange belt), I was a bit nervous as I handed it over. GM Beaudoin raised the sword to read the inscription, smiled at me, and then spun the sword around in front of him with one hand. This was the first of the commemorative items I’ve created for visiting martial artists, and it had been on display in a sword rack in GM’s office at headquarters for years.” Scot- Bennett, Range Martial Arts East

Region 19 Tribute miss KCNB every day, I think of him often. It’s been a month since we received the shocking news, dazed, wishing we could I have said goodbye and hugged him one more time. So sad, heavy heart. His passing made me think hard about how I live, how he lived. The more I thought about him, the more I smiled. As a matter of fact, every time I’m done tearing up, I smile. He made me smile. I realized that he lived his life his way, and he was so fortunate, and he knew it. He loved what he did everyday. He loved training, teaching, helping and sharing. You could see it in his eyes and his wonderful smile. His face told us how much he enjoyed his life. He loved every one of us. KCN was such a nice, big hearted, fun loving, happy man. You just can’t escape his magnetic personality, so genuine, so kind. While he was taken much to early from us, I am so happy for him to have lived his life the way he loved, and fortunately for us, we had the opportunity to share a part of his life. Life is precious, friends are precious, family is precious and he knew that and expressed it every single day. I tear up writing this, then I smile when I see his smiling face, it’s the only way I seem to remember him. It’s been a true honor to be your student, thank you for your patience, your teachings and caring. A true Grandmaster. Until we meet again, sir. Master Roy Uttech

2020 Summer WTSDA & WTSDF Newsletter - Page 9 KCN Beaudoin Tribute Region 8 Remembers hen asked to recall their favorite memory of KCN Beaudoin, stories ranged from a few minutes in the autograph session, Wto weekends at Tang Soo Do events, or to a lifetime of friendship. Common threads among our memories included Grandmaster Beaudoin’s smile, enthusiasm, wisdom, caring nature, leadership, positive outlook, and his genuine interest in people. As we look towards the future while reflecting on the past, we are reminded of what is important. As Master Frank Fattori, Regional Director said, “Once again, we have been reminded that life is short, no matter how long we live. Love your family and friends. Do not judge quickly or harshly. Seek understanding, show compassion, and forgive without reservation. Trust that His plan is perfect even though we cannot comprehend His methods or timing.

It was with true sadness that we had to say goodbye to our Tang Soo Do friends and to beautiful Botswana. Tuesday came too fast and the trip to the airport offered a last opportunity for hugs and promises to see each other soon. It was hard to believe our stay had only been a bit more than a week. We had experienced amazing hospitality and friendship, witnessed the best of African Tang Soo Do, and seen a very small part of a special one of Earth’s special places. It was a privilege to be a small part of the Region 14 2019 Championships and to be embraced in such a fine example of the worldwide spirit of our Tang Soo Do sister/brotherhood. Tang Soo!

Region 8 Dan Camp Lessons une is always an exciting time for Region 8’s black belts with 2 youth Dan camp weekends and one adult Dan camp weekend. JThree days of martial arts bliss with no outside distractions - for many it is the event of the year. Everyone walks away with more that they came with whether it is the first time Cho Dan Bos refining Sip Soo to the managers improvising the sessions to accommodate a downpour. The learning and sharing is always phenomenal and everyone leaves with renewed energy as well as a long list of new knowledge and memories. However, memories from 2020 will be different due to the COVID-19 pandemic since most WTSDA events were cancelled beginning mid-March. We learned to adjust and cope with our new ‘normal’ and had the opportunity to reconnect with family and friends on a new level due to the restrictions put in place. As members of a worldwide organization, we realized how all communities of the world are truly connected. Using technology from Zoom, Facebook, Webex, Google Meet and others, we saw our members connect internationally for weekly classes, regionally for meetings and of course our daily studio training sessions. Our tenets of perseverance, self control, concentration and indomitable spirit have added meanings as we navigate our new normal for training and teaching. As martial artists, our warrior spirit continues to help us overcome adversities by being more confident and taking control of our situations while remaining positive. As communities begin to relax restrictions of the pandemic, we can continue our training with the lessons we learned and a renewed sense of purpose. Although we did miss a 2020 in-person meeting, a virtual camp was offered this year sharing the same camaraderie of sweating together, sharing moments and knowledge. As martial artist we have adapted and overcame the obstacles that 2020 presented so far. We will continue to persevere using creativity and the any innovation available to continue our training.

2020 Summer WTSDA & WTSDF Newsletter - Page 21 World Ki Gong Club Region 5 Ki Gong Clinic had no expectations going to my first Ki Gong session but I knew I really wanted I to go because Grandmaster Beaudoin, Master Inoshita & Mr Robertson were all going to be in attendance and this would be small group, a great opportunity for quality time with them. I also really wanted to go, because as a martial arts student, I wanted to help my body take Tang Soo Do to the next level. The Region 5 WKG clinic was held on April 26, 2019. I was very pleasantly surprised with all that we did; foot massage, gentle stretching, barefoot cobblestone walking to detoxify the body, meditation time with healing singing bowls, Bagua circle walking with Master Inoshita (who moves like water, beautifully), to The Eight Pieces of Brocade with Grandmaster Beaudoin. The tone of the class was set by Mr Robertson who makes it fun, easy, open to inquiry, and educational. I really loved how I felt both spiritually & physically after class. Thank you so much to the instructors for making Ki Gong an informal part of Tang Soo Do. I am looking forward to continuing this journey. Tammie Stojov, ER RN Cho Dan

Gulf Coast Ki Gong Clinic April 13th at St. Leo’s Abbey, Florida fter missing the Crawfish feast at last year’s Gulf Coast Ki Gong Clinic in ANew Orleans, I vowed never to miss this event again. Never one to disappoint, Carla Elk arranged to have this year’s clinic at St. Leos Abbey, home of the 1st WTSDA Masters’ Clinic. St. Leo’s is just as I envisioned a working Benedictine Abbey to be. A beautiful church complete with real bells and the sound of monks singing their devotionals throughout the day. St. Leo’s Abbey was an old building with classrooms and dormitories that reminded me of my high school. Throughout the weekend, our thoughts were often on that first Masters’ Clinic, KCN Shin and the stories we had learned about it from Master Strong’s book ‘One More Time’. There was a sense of WTSDA history. I could hear KCN Shin’s voice in my head. It really was special. As a working abbey, some parts of the meal were in silence or with readings from Benedictine Practices. The food was good and plentiful, which apparently was not the case when Grandmaster Shin was there. Friday evening we dined al fresco at the On Q Smokehouse Grill. We filled up the outside dining porch and had a lot of time and space for good food, good drink and good fellowship. There were a number of attendees I had not met before and to be honest they were a hoot! Stanford and Cornell are students of Carla Eck and were from a large family in New Orleans whose parents named all the kids after colleges and universities. Saturday’s sessions included a variety of Ki Gong practices, lectures and a presentation by one of the monks about what it is like to be a monk. Master Inoshita had lectures on Theory and ended the day with Bone Breathing Meditation, Sae Soo Kyung. The room we trained in most of the day had a porch looking over the lake. After a full day of Ki Gong, we spent the evening talking and noshing for dinner. It was a great evening. The conversations included discussions on the changes to the World Ki Gong Club and stories of our lives and practice.Sunday morning we cleaned up and departed. As a special treat, some of us went to the Tampa Zoo before we went to the airport to head home. Another successful Ki Gong one-day clinic. Tang Soo! John Robertson
