TANG SOO DO SEMINAR - MARCH 14, 2009

Students from across the Greater Pittsburgh area gathered at the Community College of Allegheny County at Boyce Campus for the opportunity of training with Choong Jae Nim Master C. S. Kim.  Joining with us were instructors and students from American Black Belt Academy in Philadelphia, Newburgh Karate and Pine Bush Karate in New York and Virginia Tech in Maryland.  Detailed instruction was provided to students by Master Kim and members of the Technical Advisory Committee of the International Tang Soo Do Federation™.  The day concluded as Master Kim awarded each instructor and student with a special certificate recognizing their participation in the seminar. 

Several letters were received after the seminar. 

Choong Jae Nim received a wonderful letter from a student who attends the C. S. Kim Karate school in Bethel Park. 

" Dear Master Kim:
Please allow me to express my appreciation for the Tang Soo Do seminar conducted by yourself and the Technical Advisory Committee.  My gratitude and respect goes to you and the instructors.  Please let them know I feel that they all did a wonderfully great job.  I had the pleasure to work with Master Leach on Sip Soo, who helped me greatly and Master Murtaugh who gave me excellent advice on how to train my side kick and my back wheel kick.  Overall, the seminar was a great opportunity to learn and train.  I must admit it was also fun and spirited.  I wish I  could do it all again. 

Master Kim, you continue to be the perfect model of youthful energy, positive spirit, and tremendous discipline.  We have all greatly benefited from the investment you have made in our lives.  You have my unending respect and appreciation.

It has been my pleasure and privilege to train under the watchful eye of Master Bruno, whom I also greatly respect and appreciate.  You have both positively changed my life.  Please accept my thanks and best wishes.  Tang Soo!"
Timothy Lesaca
