MERRY CHRISTMAS 2018 FROM KWANJANGNIM My Dearest Omega Family!

I always find myself amazed at the caliber of people we have here at Omega and I am so blessed to be a part of this [...]

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 [...]

[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! [...]
