Warrior Luke – Update & Progress!

Great Grandmaster Tae Yun Kim‘s student, Luke, continues to train hard at Jung SuWon.

In a recent class, Great Grandmaster Kim asked him to perform a 5 board spinning round house kick break to demonstrate the proper leg position during a spinning round house kick.

Warrior Luke prepares to break 5 boards with a single spinning round house kick!

Spinning round house is  a difficult technique to do by itself, but targeting 5 boards in a row is very challenging!

Of course, before that night, he had no idea he would be doing this break! Students at Jung SuWon don’t practice breaking techniques.  Great Grandmaster Kim usually surprises her students on the spot!

Warrior Luke applied all the teachings he has learned from Great Grandmaster Kim and focused on this difficult breaking demonstration.

And he did it!

Warrior Luke breaks all 5 boards in one spinning round house kick!

Congratulations Warrior Luke!!

Warrior Luke – Miracles of Miracles!

Warrior Luke once was a “non” student… what is this?  This is someone who “goes” to school, but doesn’t get anything out of school.  Ditches classes, doesn’t do homework, fools around…and can actually fail woodshop.

The failure only occurred because he never applied himself, never tried to do well, never CARED.

He was not motivated and didn’t receive much support from his family.  They were always fighting and never communicated well.

Let’s flip the page in his book of life and see what he is doing today!

He is studious. He learns fast and remembers well. He applies himself.

Internship program at a high tech company

Studying on Laptop

He trains hard.

Training at Jung SuWon Martial Art Academy

And he has attended VIP events with Dr. Tae Yun Kim.

And he CARES.

Are we sure we are talking about the same guy??

YES!

That’s the miracle and the beauty of Dr. Tae Yun Kim‘s program at the Tae Yun Kim International University!  Dr. Kim knows how to talk to young people.  She knows how to motivate them and encourage them.  And they listen!

More on Warrior Luke’s progress coming soon!

Warrior Training – Archery!

At Tae Yun Kim International University, one activity that our Warriors experience is: ARCHERY!

Great Grandmaster Tae Yun Kim teaches that archery isn’t just about shooting arrows at targets, but it is symbolic of our lives.

When you focus on a goal in your life (like a target), you have to be calm and determined.  You can’t let the environment distract you.  It takes effort to reach your goal (just like pulling the string on the bow takes effort) and sometimes, when you aim, you miss the target.

Do you give up?

No!  It takes Practice to achieve your goals!  You have to be determined and try again and again, adjusting your aim slightly in order to hit your target!

Warrior Sarang had a fantastic experience learning about archery!

Tae Yun Kim International University Provides Exciting Training!

Through the Tae Yun Kim International University program, the students occasionally participate in some exciting training classes!

Sarang had always wanted to go sky diving and in July 2011, her dream came true!

The thrill of flying in an airplane and then jumping out is a huge rush!

All the warrior students that day had a fantastic time!

If you’ve never been skydiving before, it is an amazing experience to realize that you are falling through the sky at an incredible speed.  When your parachute is pulled, since there is no frame of reference next to you, it doesn’t feel like you are falling…until the ground comes shooting up at you, that is!   But don’t worry…the jumpmasters are very professional and expert at guiding each student to a safe landing.

Great Grandmaster Dr. Tae Yun Kim trains each person according to his/her needs.  No two students are identical.  Not even twins!  Everyone has their own issues to work on.

Stay tuned for more Transformational updates!
