International Tong-Il Moo-Do Special Workshop
at Camp Sunrise in USA

Ten international instructors gathered at Camp Sunrise in NY, USA during Oct. 10 - 18, 2002. Camp Sunrise is situated in very beautiful natural surroundings, inspiring and stimulating all the instructors, though it was rainy in the aftermath of hurricane. During workshop, a very good atmosphere was generated among the instructors, as Dr. Seuk encouraged them to create a real brotherhood.

The daily schedule started with Hoon Dok Hae 5 am. From 8 am we began intensive morning training, focusing especially on reviewing and systematizing all TIMD techniques, including warming up routine and the basic circular, linear and ground techniques. From 2 pm we resumed training, focusing on tournament rules and judging guidelines and practice. Finally, 8 pm we gathered for discussion, reports and testimonies from each continent and nation present.

As a result of this workshop, we drafted new tournament rules, a new TIMD warning up system, new TIMD basic techniques, and TIMD basic choke, lock and ground techniques. We examined protection gear for free sparring competition, and practiced tournament judging system.

At the end of workshop, President Dr. Seuk encouraged all TIMD instructors to educate young people for the sake of their nation and righteousness.
