Grandmaster C.S. Kim Visits Portugal

Master Chun Sik Kim made his very first visit to Caldos de Reinha, Portugal in November 2006. He was there to visit Kyo Sah's Abilio & Christina Augusto and to promote Tang Soo Do in their country.

Personal tuition

Master Kim was accompanied by Master Adrian Mendietta (Chief Instructor Mexico), Master Wynford Williams (Chief Instructor Europe), Master Y D Kim and Master Richard Hellings.

Master Y D Kim (Choong Jae Nim's eldest son) had just returned from Korea where he had practiced a new Bong Hyung and had begun to learn Gum Do (the Korean art of the Sword)

Teaching Bong Sool

At the seminars held Master YD Kim instructed the visiting Masters, Local Instructors & senior members in the Bong Sool hyung.

As this hyung is quite a departure from those already learned it was taught in stages.

Gum Do

Master YD Kim also taught the basics of Gum Do which everyone found very testing but rewarding.

Choong Jae Nim taught many seminars during his visit and some of the highlights can be viewed on our new Master Class pages.
