Greetings all! We celebrated our school's 5-year anniversary of Kuk Sool in San Diego, on July 28th, 2012. It was a great event! I am proud to have hosted my Teacher, Chief Master Larry White of Kuk Sool of California, along with his demo team of awesome Black Belts! We had a great turn out and plenty of demonstration fun! Chief Master White was on hand for some Black Belt promotions at my school... I am proud and happy to announce my wife, Susan, was promoted to 2nd Degree Black Belt, John "J-Tre" Banales was promoted to 1st Degree and one of my kids, Jacob Versoza was promoted to 1st Degree! Here is a note from my teacher: 28 July I took my Demo team to perform at Kuk Sool of San Diego. Liam and Susan O' Connor celebrated their 5 year anniversary teaching Kuk Sool - Korean Martial Arts in San Diego California. Susan O'Connor was promoted to 2nd Degree Black Belt. I am very Proud of Liam and Susan of what they have accomplished and have maintained and persevered with their standard of teaching and integrity conforming to the Martial Arts Code. - Chief Master Larry White Here is a group photo: Liam O'Connor - 3rd Dan, Vicent MC Queen Jr. - 4th Dan, Tommy Johnson - 5th Dan, Chief Master Larry White - 9th Dan, Susan Griego O'Connor - 2nd Dan, Larry Trevino - 4th Dan, Sean Campbell - 4th Dan Here is a photo of me during the breaking portion of my demo...6 Board Stack (NO spacers) turning back kick. ...more photos to come...
