Congratulations to all the 2014 Ko Dan Ja Shim Sa Candidates and visiting Senior Ko Dan Ja on your completion of the Ko Dan Ja Shim Sa in Ramona, California.

 

It is... no small feat to complete the Ko Dan Ja Shim Sa, even more so being able to go back and do it again, and again.  The spirit of the week is one of brother and sisterhood, where old friends meet again, and new friends make lifelong friendships from sharing the same unique experience in training, through the art of Soo Bahk Do Moo Duk Kwan®.  Congratulations to all who participated in this Shim Sa, and all those who supported the event and made it happen.  They came from different states, and different parts of the world, for one purpose... to experience the Moo Do.  Until next year!   SOO BAHK !  

 

Kwan Jang Nim with our SAC members.

The Fire
By Phil Duncan

What is it about a fire that draws us to it almost instinctively? We may not even be cold, yet we can't resist "backing up" to a nice warm fire. Is it just coincidence that we are so predictable when we are near one or could it be that we have an inborn sense that draws us to it? It seems that almost everyone is attracted to and responds the same way to a well tended and controlled fire. Perhaps this offers a unique insight into one aspect of our art
