"...... We're honored that you thought of us for Teukgong Moosool for your network.
We share the opinion that a good network is always nice to have. As our latest seminar has pointed out, training with other people, different countries is fun and very educational (everyone does every technique a bit different).
We both firmly believe that a good base is required for martial arts, but it's those little that makes you even better."
