From January 11 to 18, 2006 Tong-Il Moo-Do held a 7 days workshop in Fazenda New Hope, Matto Grosso do Sul, Jardim, Brazil, in which the Instructors Juan Jose Elgul, Fabian Martinez and I gave classes.
We had the 220 participants from Brazil, Argentina, Chile, Paraguay, Uruguay, Peru, Bolivia, Dominican Republic, Colombia, Venezuela, USA and Ecuador. We received CARP leadership centered on Rev. In Don Kang.
Early in the morning we gave gym classes based on circular movements and in the afternoon for an hour and half we gave intense classes of TIMD. Also Speeches about the Meaning and Philosophy of Tong-Il Moo-Do were given.
The high temperature brought the participants to their limits in dominating their bodies. During the classes, and due to the fact that the most of them were new in Martial Arts, the basic circular and lineal techniques were taught. Also small demonstrations by the Masters about self-defense took place which generated great interest in the participants and made the classes really excited.
The participants were divided into three groups and each Master had a group of around 70 students.
While one was teaching Circular Movements, the others taught lineal and self-defense techniques. So the Instructors rotated and repeated their classes in each group.
The general goals of the Workshop were: 1. Inspire them to integrate the TIMD classes during this year in Argentina.
2. Pass on the 10 practical Self Defense techniques.
We had the great surprise to meet in the New Hope Fazenda, the great master Bek, from the Won Hwa Do Style, who worked years ago as Dr. Sun Myung Moons security. Right now he has the responsibility for the cattle raising of the farm. He nevertheless took his time to tell us about his experiences with Circular Movements. He also thanked us for the effort and especially the great work that Dr. Joon Ho Seuk is realizing worldwide.
We would like to mention that the Latin-American CARP leadership noticed the importance that TIMD has to discipline the members of it's organization, therefore, next year in the 21 days workshop, TIMD will have the responsibility to train officially all members.
Finally, for this year 2006, and based on this seminar, we have the conviction that we will prepare TIMD instructors for: Chile, Peru, Bolivia and Paraguay, where CARP has membership.
