Success...?

The dojang has experienced ALOT of growth as of late. We're literally bursting at the seams, so we're trying to "kick it" into high gear. We're looking for a full time space, and we've boosted advertising to the Maryland School for the Deaf and various online outlets such as MySpace, Facebook, and Craigslist. As far as we know, we are the only martial arts school in the Howard County area offering ASL friendly classes in both Taekwondo and Haidong Gumdo. (This actually started back in January.) And speaking of Gumdo, we've recently joined the World Haidong Gumdo Federation. For more information on this, see below. And while you're at it, check out some of our recent exposure:

WHDGDF

So for the dojang's next big step, (and mine), I am in the process of joining the WHDGDF, or World Haidong Gumdo Federation. I have been training under Master DJ Park, and he is helping me to get my rank certified and Blue Mountain recognized. In the past I have had an interesting relationship with this and other organizations. I have mixed feelings about what they provide. However, I've been thinking about this for awhile, and I really think it's a move in the best interest of the school. There is now an "official" Haidong Gumdo school, located just minutes from Columbia and Baltimore, MD.
