I hope this finds you in good health and spirits. On behalf of the Board of Directors and the Championship Committee I want to update everyone on the status of the 2019 WDU-USA National Championships We have completed our preparations and we are looking forward to seeing old friends and making new friends in the spirit of competition. A highlight of this years event is the honoring of Cheong Jae Nim Kim, Song Ki as a Pioneer of Tang Soo Do Moo Duk Kwan by World Moo Duk Kwan President Hwang, Hyun Chul. Unfortunately, GM Kim has recently sustained an injury that precludes him from traveling to the USA this year. Our concern is always for his health and well being, we pray for his complete and speedy recovery. It is incumbent upon all members of the WDU and USGTSDA to attend this years event, to represent our leader GM Kim, Song Ki in his absence. We are rooted in Tang Soo Do Moo Duk Kwan. Our history and connection to the past is through Master Kim, with his guidance we to look to the future by sharing with our Moo Duk Kwan brothers and sisters. Our motto says it best “Camaraderie through Competition”. I look forward to seeing everyone October 5, 2019 in Norwich, Connecticut. in Moo Do Spirit, Steven Voelker Dear Kwan Jang, Sa Bom, Kyo Sa, Tang Soo Do & Soo Bahk Do Practitioners and Friends, We hope this letter finds you in good health and spirits!
