A historical note, Seiberlich Sa bom Nim was involved in the development of the U.S. Federation and was directly involved in developing the charter for the U.S. Federation back in 1975, when the Founder Hwang Kee was seeking support to help standardize the art in the United States and elsewhere in the World. In 1974-1976, before the U.S. Federation's formation, Charter Members met, collaborated, conceived the U.S. Federation's primary objective for existence and created the legal structure which became our U.S. Federation.
Seiberlich Sa bom Nim continues to be involved today in the development of the World Moo Duk Kwan®. as the World Symposium Chairman.
