October 29, 2011
The First Texas Hankido Seminars saw a great turn out on Saturday the 29th of October. People from all parts and arts of the U.S. had come to Spring to take part in this unique event.
During the four hour seminar a thorough introduction of what Hankido is about was given to the participants. Master Ko Baek-yong, together with his son and assistant Ko Sehwan, taught the main principles of Hankido and the four hours were over before we knew it.

November 2010
Returned a day early from the Fall Hanmudo Seminar in Baton Rouge, La. due to a family emergency. Had a great full day on Saturday training with Dr. Kimm and the fine martial artists at the Hanmudo Headquarters. Friday night had the pleasure of watching the Black Belt testing and the techniques and energy were outstanding. Mr. Zollie Guidry tested and attained the rank of 4th Dan and it was well deserved.
It is always a joy to be on the floor with a great martial artists like Dr. He Young Kimm. I've had the pleasure of knowing him and his family for over 30 years now and to have such a treasure in our own back yard is truly a gift.
