2020 ANNUAL MEETING POSTPONED
Dear Respected Grandmasters:
We have been asked by the mayor of Fremont to temporarily
cancel our meeting due to the seriousness of Coronavirus.
The mayor of San Francisco has declared it a state of emergency.
We will have our annual meeting but there is no way we can set a date
at this moment. I know many of you have already purchased
airline tickets and reserved hotel rooms and made arrangements
to transportation.
We are in the process of securing a letter from the office of the
mayor of Fremont so that you can alter the tickets over the
next 12 months.
All trophies and awards have been ordered and so as soon as
it is deemed to be safe we will reschedule everything and contact
to you with new dates.
We will also forward you the letter from the office of the mayor
as soon as it becomes available to us.
We know this is a great inconvenience for everyone, but
in regard to our safety and health we believe we should follow
the directives of our public officials.
If you have any questions, you are more than welcome
to call me at 309-673-2000.
Soo Kon Kim,
U.S. Taekwondo Grandmasters Society
Kim Kyung-Won, Chair of the United States Taekwondo Education Foundation (USTEF), has been an instrumental figure in
adopting taekwondo as the regular curriculum at about 600 public elementary schools in the U.S.A.
He is a certified 8th-dan taekwondo grandmaster and currently one of the U.S. Taekwondo Grandmasters Society (USTGS) Vice-Presidents.
At the age of 22, he went to the U.S. and had a tough time making a living. Now, he is an established grandmaster in taekwondo, who attained his own success.
His wish is to see taekwondo being adopted as the regular curriculum at all the schools in the U.S.A.. We will hear from USTEF Chair Kim Kyung-Won, on Heart-to-Heart.
미국 600여 곳 공립 초등학교에서 정규 과목으로 채택된 '태권도.' 그 성과가 있기 위해서 전미태권도교육재단 김경원 이사장의 힘이 컸는데.
태권도 공인 8단, 김경원 이사장. 22세 때 미국으로 건너가 힘들게 돈을 벌었다. 이제는 성공한 태권도인으로 입지를 굳혔다.
미국 전체 학교에서 '태권도'가 정규 과정이 되길 바라는 전미태권도교육재단 김경원 이사장의 이야기를 [Heart to Heart]에서 들어본다.
