Message from the Grandmaster WTSDA & 2021 A s the year 2020 marched towards its conclusion, two of the seven tenets of Tang Soo Do, perseverance and indomitable spirit, characterized much about the vitality of the World Tang Soo Do Association and its membership in accepting and overcoming many challenging events. January brought great sadness with the death of Grandmaster Robert Beaudoin. Yet, even with our grief in the passing of this great man and the loss of his vast knowledge of Tang Soo Do gained through his long-standing historical relationship with our founder, Grandmaster Jae C. Shin, we celebrated his life as one of the greatest martial artists of his generation. His perseverance to ensure the health of the Association when Grandmaster Shin died is acknowledged. His spirit lives on in the mind of the Association. In February, COVID-19 began its relentless, infectious path across the country, affecting the very fabric of our society. For an activity that relies on face-to-face training, closing studios to reduce the impact and spread of the virus wreaked havoc on our membership and the viability of many studios. However, through necessity and perserverance, instructors accepted the challenges by developing and offering remote instruction primarily through Zoom. Having developed and taught distant learning courses at the university level, I know how much time and effort it takes to manage this kind of teaching. Many instructors across all of the WTSDA regions not only taught their classes by Zoom, and in some cases organized clinics for the entire membership. From Quito, Ecuador, Region 23 Director Master Sebastian Bonelli scheduled clinics for Black Belts and Masters. From Mar del Plata, Argentina, a team of women offered monthly Fem Classes. Region 19 Director Master Roy Uttech from Alaska arranged training for Masters’ Clinic candidates. In the fall, Testing Committee chair Master Paul Mimidis had planned and successfully executed virtual testing of Masters’ Candidates and Ko Dan Ja. The COVID-19 pandemic persisted through the 2020 year, yet the work of the Association progressed in a novel manner, led by the indomitable spirit of its membership. Virtual training will continue into 2021 along with hopes that the effects of the recently released vaccines will allow us to train together in-person sooner rather than later. I applaud all of you who worked purposely through these pandemic stricken nomths to find wad to manage and nurture your respective Regions, studios and membership. We will be ready to return to a new normal when it is safe. In the meantime, we will maintain and show our love of Tang Soo Do into the future regardless of the method of instruction. Thank you for your perseverance and indomitable spirit! Tang Soo! Grandmaster William R. Strong WTSDA Event Cancellations & Changes The Official Newsletter of US National Tournament World Tang Soo Do Association T World Tang Soo Do Foundation he situation we are facing with the COVID-19 pandemic, remains 2436 Hanford Road a significant focus of the WTSDA and protecting the health and Burlington, NC 27215 safety of all members remains the WTSDA’s priority.

WTSDA News 2019 China Trip I t is hard to state what an impact news of the first WTSDA China trip had on the Association in 1984. I think everyone read that newsletter cover to cover and had dreams of going I would turn down.” Grandmaster said, “It’s a long time to be away from family. I thought you would want to ask your wife.” I said, with a grin on my face, “KCN you know my wife, I will to the Shaolin Temple to train with the monks. Nine years just tell her you said I had to go.” later in 1993, I was lucky enough to accompany KCN Shin to On March 10, I arrived at O’Hare Airport to find my flight China and demonstrated for the monks at the Shaolin Temple was delayed and became increasingly anxious that I would completing my teenage dreams. I was honestly disappointed miss my connection to accompany KCN. I sprinted through we stayed in an air-conditioned western two terminals at Kennedy Airport to find style hotel as opposed to sleeping on the Grandmaster Beaudoin smiling, waiting floor at the Shaolin Temple like they did in for me at the check-in desk holding a place 1984. Some of my favorite memories of in line for me. It still amazes me, he must that trip was how proud KCN Shin was of waited at check in line nearly two hours to me not because of my martial arts skill but hold a place in line for me. We made our how eager I was to participate with martial flight to Beijing and were greeted by the film arts legends even if that meant I had to eat crew at the airport.

So the film crew took Buenos Aires, Argentina with KCN Beaudoin us sightseeing at Ritan Park then to Yu Lin and KCN Strong when Grandmaster restaurant for Peking Duck before heading Beaudoin calls me over and says, “I need to to Lanzhou. talk to you.” Honestly, I was a little worried Our first day in Lanzhou was also a that I was in trouble for something, or that sightseeing day while the film crew prepared. he needed me to translate from Spanish. We visited the Gansu Provincial Museum Grandmaster handed me his phone and and the White Pagoda Temple, which is on asked me to read an email from Mr. Xu top of a mountain over-looking the Yellow Yang who was a directing a documentary River and Lanzhou. The original 1984 team on Chinese martial artists considered their had visited these same locations, it was like a national treasures. Master Liu Jin Zu from dream come true to cross the same bridges, Lanzhou was one of the subjects of the and climb the same stairs to see the things documentary. When he was asked to recall from that first China trip video. Grandmaster his most memorable event in his 60+ years was struck by how much had changed in in martial arts, he said it was a meeting in those thirty-five years, even in this remote 1984 with a group of Americans. Master Liu Jin Zu pulled province at the very western end of the Great Wall. Lanzhou out five old business cards from his wallet: Grandmaster Shin, was now a city with many high-rise buildings and population Robert Beaudoin, Charles Vaughn, Larry D’Ercole and Marty of 2.8 million people. Carson from the original China trip. Mr. Yang was struck by how loving these business cards were cared for that he found The following day we met at Master Liu’s home. The great the WTSDA web page and was pleased to learn that one of affection Master Liu and Grandmaster had for each other was the original team members was the current Grandmaster of clear. During this initial meeting, we presented Master Liu with a the WTSDA. The email concluded with an invitation to pay copy of the WTSDA China Video and a collection of photos from for a trip to China to film the reunion between Grandmaster that first trip provided by Master D’Ercole and Master Vaughn. and Master Liu. I immediately said to Grandmaster “You have Master Liu’s two grandsons demonstrated open hand and spear to go sir!” Grandmaster said, “I was wondering if you would sets of Ba Men Chuan, a style native Gansu Province. After the come with me? I know it’s a lot to ask.” It took me a couple of demonstration we were treated to lunch at a hot pot restaurant seconds to respond. “Sir, do we know how much it would cost?” serving a meal typical of this area of Uyghur, China. At lunch I had assumed that the documentary would only be covering Master Liu said he had a special treat for us the next day. We Grandmaster’s expenses. Grandmaster said, “I told them that I said our good-byes and let Master Liu rest. Later that night, the needed someone to accompany me and they said that would be film crew took us to the Lanzhou night market for a late-night no problem.” I said “Sir, you are asking me if I would accompany snack of noodles typical of the area. The next morning we got you to China all expenses paid, what part of that did you think on the bus to visit a small village on the outskirts of Lanzhou. 2021 Winter WTSDA & WTSDF Newsletter - Page 4
WTSDA News As we left the city for the countryside, it was like we were going back in time. We visited the Liu family temple, which as like a family mausoleum for generations of the Liu family. In the courtyard of the temple, Grandmaster and I demonstrate Tang Soo Do forms, and Master Liu taught Grandmaster spear techniques. It was a magical experience which is difficult to describe, all I can say it is was like being in an old Kung Fu film. After the demonstration, we headed back to our hotel and prepared for the filmed interview with Grandmaster Beaudoin. During the interview one of the most shocking things to discover was that traditional Chinese Martial Arts are disappearing in China. The number of people practicing traditional Ki Gong is significantly decreased. Young people are pursing study of English and Academics in order to get ahead. When I came to China in 1993, the majority of people were studying Ki Gong and Wushu, I was shocked to hear that BJJ and Tae Kwon Do are the two most commonly practiced martial arts in China’s cities. Grandmaster was deeply saddened to hear that even though Master Liu demonstrated amazing martial arts skills earlier in the day, he was in poor enough health that documentary director Mr. Yang Xu feared Liu Jin Zu would not survive to see the documentary when it aired. Grandmaster expressed that perhaps we could bring one of the grandson’s and the film crew to the US to see the 2020 World Championships. The next day we did Ki Gong in a park and did a little shopping before heading through the desert to the Lanzhou Airport. We were surprised to see Master Liu and his family at the airport with a banner of eternal friendship and complete compilation of Bamen Chuans forms and techniques for Grandmaster Beaudoin. The video is currently available to view on YouTube at https://youtu.be/ajwYcpk9Ggw. Grandmaster Beaudoin can be seen starting at ~40 minutes. Enjoy! Tang Soo! Master Michael Inoshita International Dan Classes D ue to the COVID-19 pandemic hitting all regions of the world, all WTSDA events were cancelled for the safety of its membership. In an effort to maintain our training and strengthen the bonds of brotherhood, the idea of an international virtual class was born. With Grandmaster Strong’s approval, we began planning a series of international virtual classes using Zoom with our first class held on April 11. The class was overwhelmingly successful with twenty classes offered and some sessions had over 400 participants. Each classes lasted about two hours and covered a wide variety of topics such as the technical aspects of hyung, cardio workouts and relaxation (Ki Gong). Attendance in the virtual classes had representatives from all over the USA, Mexico, Costa Rica, Guatemala, Panama, Puerto Rico, Aruba, Ecuador, Peru, Bolivia, Chile, Argentina, South Africa, Mozambique, Seychelles Island, Holland, England, Iceland and Germany. In addition to the great training and learning opportunity, the classes also became a psychological support for many of us during this difficult year. Seeing our spirits stay strong each week and realizing we are in this together has made our love for WTSDA burn stronger. This class inspired two additional international virtual classes. The first is a monthly virtual class for Latino Masters and Master candidates from Regions 12, 18 and 23 has been developed with assistance from Master Fredy Burgos and Master Richardo Valdez. The second is a women’s virtual Fem class initiated by women Black Belts from Mar del Plata, Argentina including Aldana Amaya, Macarena Nartallo, Daniela Barrilari, Yoselie Jiménez and Andrea Crupkin and supported by their instructor, Master Pablo Pieropan. The first class held on July 10, 2020 and was followed by six more monthly classes. Participants were from Argentina, Chile, Costa Rica, Mexico, USA, Nicaragua, Panamá, Guatemala, Puerto Rico and South Africa. All of these classes have also resulted in a sense of unity while improving our Tang Soo Do. Lastly, I want to give special thanks to KCN Strong, Masters, Black Belts and CDB for keeping the WTSDA flame alive in our hearts and for giving us some quality time together. Tang Soo!

Regional Updates 2020 Region 1 Virtual Championship I t was October 3, 2020 and tournament time! How exciting that we were able to have so many participants in this virtual Regional Championship who wouldn’t normally be able to attend. Region 1 competitors from Hawaii, Montana, Washington, Oregon, Nevada and California as well as competitors from Alaska, Florida and Delaware were in attendance. Grandmaster Strong from Alabama even joined us! Beds, sofas, boxes, and patio furniture were moved so that backyards, basements, garages, and bedrooms could become competition rings. Included with the parental and sibling spectators were pets that were completely oblivious to the weapons being wielded just inches from their tails with exquisite accuracy. The video was choppy at times and sometimes judges had to extrapolate the beauty of the techniques through the blurs of technology. All in all, the first Region 1 Virtual Regional Championship was a remarkable experience. Congratulations to all the competitors and THANK YOU to the organizers! It was a grand time seeing everyone on Zoom doing their very best and having fun! Region 1, One Family! One more time! Tang Soo! Master Becky Wolverton and Ms. Leslie Flaum Perseverance Through a Pandemic & WTSDA Indomitable Spirit T he year 2020 has been the epitome of adversity with many trials and tribulations for the entire world. In late January, the WTSDA experienced the sudden loss of our beloved Grandmaster Beaudoin, which sent many into a state of shock, disbelief, and sunken spirits. Then in late February, the unprecedented COVID-19 pandemic began which drastically changed our day-to- day lives for the foreseeable future. As a result, all sanctioned WTSDA events were cancelled, including the March 2020 Region 9 Championship. Everyone has been forced to adapt to this new normal and find creative alternative ways to operate. Although we are expected to practice social distancing and stay apart to stop the spread of COVID-19, the virtual world has allowed us to stay connected and in some cases get closer than we were before. It has also opened up the door for new ways to hold larger events such as seminars and championships. Inspired by the successful virtual championships held in Regions 1 and 5, Region 9 decided to hold one of its own on November 13-14, the 38th anniversary of the WTSDA Charter Convention. The Region 9 Virtual Championship was conducted using Zoom with three Zoom meetings running in parallel, the main room (which served as the virtual head table) as well as two breakout rooms. Competitors were permitted to compete from home as well as from their home dojang, referred to as a “hub”. The hub concept had the benefit of creating the feel of an in-person championship and also allowed the competitors without proper space or technology at home to participate safely. The divisions were scheduled to begin at specific times so competitors knew when to log into the Zoom meeting or arrive at their hub. All hubs, competitors, judges, and scorekeepers logged into the main room at their assigned time and were assigned to the corresponding breakout room. From there, the divisions ran in the same manner as they would as if we were fully in person. There were three events, empty hand hyung, weapon hyung, and breaking. Black Belts competed on Friday night and all other ranks competed on Saturday, which began with some greetings and well wishes from Grandmaster Strong that were read by Master Jennifer Couture. When it was all said and done, there were a total of 155 competitors from Region 9 as well as several competitors from Region 8. Aside from some minor glitches in technology and logistics initially, the Region 9 Virtual Championship ran smoothly thanks to the planning committee and all of the silent warriors who worked tirelessly behind the scenes. As with all WTSDA events, spirit and energy were high and the feeling of camaraderie and family were strong. The Region 9 Virtual Championship is yet another example of the perseverance and indomitable spirit of the WTSDA both of which remain relentless, even in the midst of a pandemic. Tang Soo!
