Mr. Vaillancourt, GM C. I. Kim and Mr. Patrick Kennedy

Dana Vaillancourt, Kyle Hofer, and Linc Kattner recently had the opportunity to travel to Chicago in October 2008 and attend a IAKMA seminar taught by Grand Master C. I. Kim. GM C. I. Kim took the time to show and explain basic hip movement; one of the things lacking in many WTF and some TSD dojangs. Also covered besides basic movement was hyungs, kicking drills and GM even spent a little time talking about the history of TSD and TKD, which was very refreshingly NOT the 2,000 year old version, but the 1946-on version. He also shared some personal stories about his instructor and GM Hwang Kee.

All three want to thank GM C. I. Kim for his time and instruction and Mr. & Mrs. Kennedy for their hospitality.
