My daughter has tried many sports and activities but had never shown the passion she has for Taekwondo. The instructors are thorough and clearly care to see the students achieve their highest potential.

Back in the Spring I saw a demo for Haidong Gumdo and was immediately moved by the beauty of movement and grace displayed by the practitioners all the while wielding a sword, albeit made of wood or metal. I tracked down some of the practitioners and Master Keun, to ask some questions. I knew then I was going to do this, the only question was "… when?". Well, last night I tested for my yellow belt after two months of lessons. Surrounded by such happy, motivated and helpful people has made this journey a true joy. As for Master Keun, not enough wonderful things can be said of his knowledge
