Congratulations to Kenyon's Soo Bahk Do, for opening its doors to their dojang over 50 years ago in 1967, in the San Diego Area.  Originally started by Damon Kenyon's Father and Sa Bom Nim, Fred Kenyon.  Fred Kenyon Sa Bom Nim was instrumental in helping form the United States Federation during the 70's, he was a Charter Member of the US Tang Soo Do Moo Duk Kwan Federation.  His son, Damon Kenyon Sa bom Nim followed his father's vision and has continuously maintained the doors of his dojang for 50 years.  A Sa Bom Nim and 8th Dan in Soo Bahk Do Moo Duk Kwan, Damon Kenyon Sa Bom nim and his wife Vicki, also a a 6th Dan and their daughters, all practitioners and lifetime Dan Members, continue the tradition established in 1967.

Our sincere congratulations on such an accomplishment to the community in San Diego.

Soo Bahk!
