REG 20 NEWSLETTER ISSUE 1: SUMMER 2017 1 USA-Mexico Friendship Tournament 2017 The 2017 USA-Mexico Friendship Tournament was held in Chula Vista, CA on May 20, 2017. Competitors came from California, Arizona, Mexico and Costa Rica. In addition to hyung, dae ryun and weapons, the tournament featured competition categories for jump kicks, breaking and team forms. This annual event celebrates the unity we experience as members of WTSDA, a unity that transcends national identity. We come together as a family, all members of this wonderful organization. Eleven studios participated, bringing students from Arizona, Costa Rica and Tijuana. Special thanks to the instructors and special guests who made this event truly memorable. Congratulations to all the Gup, Dan and Dragon Division competitors! Participants list and medal results can be found on pages 2 & 3. Tang Soo! MUK YUM CORNER: INTEGRITY As the first of our seven tenets, integrity takes a central role in our art. I have heard integrity defined as “doing the right thing even when no one is looking.” Deepening that stance even when the instructor is focusing on another student, practicing a hyung over and over at home without anyone watching. Integrity also has its place beyond the do jang, in every area of our lives. Living a life of integrity means living up to the commitments we make, from something as critical as paying the rent on time to things that seem trivial like keeping a promise to give a loved one a call. Meditation/Journal Topic: Do I live a life of integrity? Are there areas of my life where my integrity shines more brightly? Are there areas which could use a little more? What can I do differently? DONATIONS REQUESTED Dragon Heart Tang Soo Do in Northern California lost all their equipment in a fire on June 16. The loss is not covered by insurance. The collection of gear, mats, bags, etc. represented years of effort, and now it all must be replaced. Master Becky Rupp has set up a Facebook Fundraiser to help raise funds, so she can continue to serve the students of Tang Soo Do who depend on her school for training. Please help if you can. DAN TEST: MAY 2017 Region 20 held its Spring Dan Test on May 19, 2017. Students ranged in age from 12 to 60, testing for Cho Dan, E Dan and Sam Dan. The written test began at 5pm, with the physical test starting at 6. The test ended at 11:30pm. Regional Dan tests are held twice per year with results announced at the next regional event. Thank you to all who helped proctor and assist. HDL PROGRAM: TEENAGERS WANTED! Formed by Master Giselle Sharpe under the guidance of Grandmaster Beaudoin, the Hwarang Dan League was created to develop and showcase the talent in the youth of the WTSDA and create a team of leaders to share their passion of our art in today’s world. This is a great opportunity for dedicated students to help shape the future while acting as ambassadors for their instructors, their studios, their Region and our Association. Students from around the world will join Master Sharpe and the other HDL instructors for Tiger Training Camp July 28 and 29 in Houston, Texas. Selected students will be invited to join the Dragon Demonstration Team. Region 20 is well-represented in HDL by instructors, administrators and students.
