Goodwill 3 Person Sparring Teams
By · Comments
The USA Technical Advisory Committee has added ANOTHER exciting new division to the 2013 United States Soo Bahk Do Moo Duk Kwan Federation® National Festival and Dan Leadership Convention.
Any 3 Dan members can now create their own Goodwill 3 Person Sparring Team and compete against other Goodwill 3 Person Sparring Teams in this “made for Dans” new division.
Goodwill sparring team members do not have to be from the same studio nor even from the same region.
No regional or studio qualification process is required in order to form a Goodwill 3 Person Sparring Team.
Whoever is on a Goodwill 3 Person Sparring Team is at the discretion of the Team members.
In the Goodwill division a team of three spar another team of three in regular two person matches.
So if you have a couple of friends in your studio or in other studios or even in other regions who you would like to match up with to make a team and take on all challengers, reach out to them and make plans to register as a Goodwill 3 Person Sparring Team today.
If you’d like to compete on a Goodwill 3 Person Sparring Team, but do not have team mates you can even register for the division individually and then the TAC will randomly match you up with two other members at the event to create a Goodwill 3 Person Sparring Team.
Goodwill 3 Person Sparring Teams
- Goodwill 3 Person Sparring Teams are composed by three individual members within and/or across regions at member discretion.
- Goodwill 3 Person Sparring Teams may also be composed by random matching of any three members at the event for those members who register for the division but do not compose their own team in advance.
- A member may not serve on more than one team.

Foundation Brochure
By · Comments
As each practitioner knows, the Moo Duk Kwan® philosophy and the Soo Bahk Do® martial art have valuable attributes that benefit both individuals and society as a whole.
One powerful opportunity that each practitioner and instructor has is to START sharing the Art with others who can also benefit from it. Toward that purpose we are asking you to help the Foundation acquire additional financial resources for this purpose.
The Foundation’s goals include increasing public awareness of, and participation in, our art. The Foundation also seeks to provide financial support to the Federation thus providing new participation opportunities for individuals who otherwise may not have an opportunity to experience Soo Bahk Do®.
To that end, the Foundation asks for your help distributing the enclosed informational brochure detailing how interested supporters can contribute to these important campaigns.
We encourage you to familiarize yourself with this information so you can respond to student questions.
You may contact any of the Foundation’s Board Directors (board@soobahkdofoundation.org) for clarifications or additional information about how you can assist us in meeting these important objectives to expand the number of beneficiaries of Soo Bahk Do® and to help preserve its future.
Please help by distributing the Foundation’s brochure as widely as possible. The electronic version can be downloaded here.
We thank you for your support and look forward to the great opportunities that your active participation and support of the Foundation will make possible.
Yours in the Moo Duk Kwan,
Board of Directors, U.S. Soo
