Fall Tournament/Fun Dates

• CS Kim Karate Inter-School/Fund Raising for Master Lindsay Tournament: Great Tournament! Always so much Fun to participate in events like this with our extended Tang Soo Do Family! As usual, our Choong Jae Nim took some time to impart some Wisdom and talk to us about Etiquette and Discipline. About how rare but important they are, how it begins with US as martial artists, instructors and as individuals. I though A LOT about this on the drive home and will have much more to say on the matter shortly. First, however, I would like to brag on our students a little, as it is a Sa Bom Nim’s privilege to do so…
