Tuesday, January 3rd was a tremendously exciting night for Master Godwin and the staff of Korean Martial Arts Institute as we celebrated the grand opening of our newest dojang in Kennett Square, Pennsylvania. Grandmaster Shin honored us not only with his presence, but lead a class of 50 black belts through an hour-    long class. 

As if that wasn’t huge enough, Sin Moo Hapkido founding grandmaster Ji, Han Jae and Han Mu Do founding grandmaster Dr. He-Young Kimm were also in attendance.

Dr. Kimm demonstrated a sword hyung from the Mooyae Doboe Tongi and then taught Han Mu Do techniques for close to an hour.

His son, Chief Master Donald Kimm was also kind enough to share his knowledge as we broke in our new mats with the sweat of 50 martial artists. To have any one of these legends in your dojang is a huge honor, but to have them all in attendance at once was unbelievable.

Not to be lost in the shuffle, WTSDA Master Dan Jansa and his lovely wife Mary were on hand as well as 9th dan grandmaster Ken Mackenzie, North America’s highest ranking student of Dojunim Ji, Han Jae. I’d personally like to thank again all of these great teachers and the dedicated black belts who came out for supporting our newest adventure.

Tang Soo!
