As one of the assistants on this WMDK Website, I just wanted to take a few seconds to wish everyone a wonderful and very safe Holiday Seasons, which goes into full swing next week. There have been many important historical moments this year, and many of those have been affected by the current pandemic. So, let's hope for a better and safer 2022.
Began training in 1967 at the age of 16, as a member of the Brooklyn Highland Park Y.M.C.A., under the guidance and training of Mr. Mike Masley, Jr., Dan Bon 10180, and tested for Cho Dan on June 18, 1969. Now a certified 4th Dan Ko Dan Ja, and was issued his original testing date Dan Bon 13927 by Kwan Jang Nim H.C. Hwang based on his petition to honor that date and evidence showing Mr. Mike Masley and his instructors, Mr. Robert Sohn, Dan Bon 6037 and Mr. Vincent Nunno, Dan Bon 7291, were legitimate representatives of the Founder, and Kwan Jang Nim Hwang Kee and the Korean Soo Bahk Do Moo Duk Kwan Association in 1969.
Many thanks to the Korean Organizing committee of the Korean Soo Bahk Do Moo Duk Kwan for the 70th Anniversary of the Moo Duk Kwan Events for sponsoring and holding the 2015 WMDK Symposium in Ganghwagun, South Korea.
"Shipley Sa Bom Nim was a special friend of mine since I met him in 1965. He spoke, wrote and understood the Korean culture more than native Koreans in some areas. He is great part of our living history of the Art and loyal to the Moo Duk Kwan by his actions. He will be truly missed by children, young men and women, and all ages worldwide."-- H.C. Hwang
