Merry Christmas 2020 From Kwanjangnim

2021-03-03T19:13:38-07:00Categories: Kwanjangnim's Korner, Omega News, Springville|

My Dear Omega Family! What a year this has been… Sheesh! As I sit and reflect on all the things that have transpired and all the things that all of us have had to pivot and get used to, it is monumental. 2020 – The year our whole world got turned upside down due to the global pandemic called COVID-19. I am amazed at all the “new normal” practices and phrases that we all have had to get used to – things like 6-foot social distancing, 14-day quarantining, make sure to wear your mask, did you get that Zoom link [...]

MERRY CHRISTMAS 2018 FROM KWANJANGNIM My Dearest Omega Family!  I am absolutely blown away that 2018 is coming to an end and that I find myself sitting at my computer writing this very special letter once again.  Each year as I take the opportunity to sit and reflect and write down my thoughts and feeling towards you, an interesting thing happens.  After 20-30 minutes of reflection and meditation on the events of the year, the words I need to say just come to my mind; this is year is no exception.  In my life I have come to rely on [...]

Tournaments & Testings – A Vital Role

2017-04-13T10:19:22-06:00Categories: Kwanjangnim's Korner|Tags: , , , |

TOURNAMENTS: When I was young, I used to LOVE to compete in martial art tournaments!  My favorite thing to compete in was point sparring.  This was back in the day when you weren’t required to wear head gear in a point sparring match (I miss those days).  For your enjoyment, I have included a picture of me in one of my very first tournaments (I’m the white belt on the right – pay no mind to the shaggy, bowl cut). I have some of the best memories from competing in the Boulder Nationals Tournament in the mid-1980’s. Richard's [...]

The Pain of Discipline is Better than the Pain of Regret One of the most commonly asked questions I get from brand new students is, “Wow, you’re a 6th degree black belt . . . [I have been in martial arts for about 34 years and this year I celebrated the 30th anniversary of receiving my black belt on February 28th, 1987] . . . How did you do it?” Well, I am about to reveal this ancient secret about how to become a Master of martial arts.  Are you ready?  Here it is… I started and I never quit! [...]
