Greetings from the Moment with Masters and the 2019 USA Ko Dan Ja Shim Sa week in Midway, Utah. Congratulations for the 74th anniversary of the Moo Duk Kwan!
Today, it is extra special because of the launching of Memberships in the WMDK Heritage Membership Program. Special thanks goes to the Task Force team for your commitment to accomplish a task today.
I firmly believe that three important factors are for a success of the Program; the first is “Clear Objectives” which is upholding the founder Hwang Kee and the Moo Duk Kwan legacy by Honoring the Past, Building the Future generations”. The second is “Commitment”. Opening for a membership on this special day is a result of Commitment in Action by all. Thirdly, strengthening a Common ground of values that we can share, regardless Soo Bahk Do, Tang Soo Do, or Tae Kwon Do, based on the Moo Duk Kwan culture.
Thank you for the opportunity to present this Program. It is possible because of your participation in the future of the Moo Duk Kwan. I am looking forward to share with you the art and it’s evolving history of the Moo Duk Kwan.. It was a heartfelt appreciation to receive all the messages sent for the Anniversary and Birthday recognition of the Founder. I join with you in wishing the founder, A Beo Nim, Seng Sin Chuk Ha Due Rip Ni Da! (Happy Birthday sir, Father.)
I am looking forward to seeing you on line later today.
In Moo Duk Kwan,
HC Hwang

Now a certified 4th Dan Ko Dan Ja, and was issued his original testing date Dan Bon 13927 by Kwan Jang Nim H.C.

I hope you and your family are in good health and happy holiday spirits.
The World Moo Duk Kwan® was able to accomplish many goals in 2013, although it’s been a challenging year worldwide. Your continuing support and individual participation was the key energy for the success of these accomplishments.
Kee Hwang founded his Moo Duk Kwan® martial arts schools in Seoul Korea in 1945 where he taught his martial art system to eager students and american military personnel. In the early days of his Moo Duk Kwan® schools he named his martial art system that was taught in them Hwa Soo Do, then Tang Soo Do and later adopted the name Soo Bahk Do®.
