Character Education is an important part of the Moo Duk Kwan Style and part of Baran's Soo Bahk Do's art curriculum. Discipline/Respect is one of the Five Moo Do Values developed by our Kwan Jang Nim H.C. Hwang. In the photos below you will see many happy faces, however, you will also see the discipline and respect shown by the students mentoring their buddies.

This past Saturday, Feb 7th 2009, Allen Ruqus Sa bom Nim and Master Roberto Bonefont, Sr., attended the regional instructor's class held at Frampton's Karate School, in New Windsor, NY. In attendance, there were 45 dan members and Ko Dan Ja (Senior Level) instructors. A wonderful surprise was the attendance of Kwan Jang Nim H.C. Hwang, President of the World Moo Duk Kwan, and the son of the late Great Grandmaster Hwang Kee, was present to offer guidance and demonstrate for the next generation of dan members.

The instructor's class was taught by the visiting Region 2 Ko Dan Ja, as they were divided up to review and teach Ho Sin Sool, Il Soo Sik Dae Ryun, and detailed review of required hyungs. The senior leadership present, Bonsignore Sa Bom Nim, Morey Sa Bom Nim and Weber Sa Bom Nim, provided overviews and specific standardized corrections for the dan members.

Wonderful Presentation on the Five Moo Do Values

Performing are: Sa Bom Nims Kozak and Lockwood.  SOO BAHK!
