This is a historic moment for our Art. Prior to the Korean War, our Founder Hwang Kee was the only Sa Bom and instructors were Kyo Sa (usually under the rank of Dan) and Kyo Bom. After the Korean War instructors were Kyo Sa’s (Dan members) and Sa Bom’s

The term of Kyo Bom was not used after the war. There are 2 reasons that the term Kyo Bom is reintroduced.  1) To certify Sa Dan’s that choose not to be an instructor yet be certified to teach and promote students at Gup level. 2) Younger practitioners (21 – 24) have a proper title and certification. Giving them a place to be proud of their connection, rank and position. Kyo Bom meets our 5 Moo Do Values (History, tradition, Philosophy, Discipline/ Respect and Technique) and will add value by elevating our Sa Bom Nim’s

             “I hope you and your families are well. As we continue to endure the global crisis of the CORVID 19 pandemic, it has become apparent that a return to normal activity and previously scheduled events is still in the distant future. For this reason I have made the decision to postpone the 75th Anniversary of the Moo Duk Kwan celebration scheduled for this October in Seoul, Korea. Personal, social, and economic hardships have created an environment requiring all of us to re-purpose our lives and essential activities toward our health, recovery, and stabilization.

The new tentative dates are as follows: ‪October 19-25 2021 (Ko Dan Ja Shim Sa, Kae Myung Facility, Ganghwa Island) ‪October 25-27 2021 , 75th Anniversary of the Moo Duk Kwan celebration (Same hotel venue as previously announced). For those who have already committed financially to this year's event, return reimbursements will be fully honored. It is my hope and sincere wish to see you all safely through this time of hardship, and to join me and the Moo Duk Kwan family in Seoul next year. My best wishes for you during this difficult time.

Sincerely, H.C Hwang, President, World Moo Duk Kwan”

Dear Virtual Festival Officials,

I hope this message finds you and your family safe and well.

Your creative solution for hosting a meaningful National Festival experience for members under the current conditions is greatly appreciated. Excellent member participation indicates that they were very excited about the experience you provided for them. I too, am excited to see the TAC, TAC Assistants, Board, Regional Examiners and selected members working together harmoniously for our common goal and for the preservation of our art. Your use of modern technology to overcome obstacles facing Moo Duk Kwan members is impressive. The Moo Duk Kwan was born amidst very challenging post war circumstances in Korea and yet our Founder persevered against all odds.

I am glad to see his spirit exhibited today by the Federation's leadership. Thank you very much for adding this very successful event to the long list of Moo Duk Kwan achievements.

In Moo Duk Kwan, H.C. Hwang”
