2019 Korea TKD Trip
Where do we begin? It was an epic trip where 28 of us moved at a vigorous pace clocking 10 and 15 mile days. The intention was to maintain Great Grandmaster Kim's legacy while adding our own flair.
 Hwaseong FortressThe 2019 TKD Korea Trip crew |  Volunteer Duty OfficersWe still made sandwiches at the crack of dawn. |  Daily TKD ExerciseWe had our early morning parking lot workouts. |
|---|---|---|
 Spying from the DMZWe saw the main tourist sights like Gyeongbokgung, Changdeokgung, and went to where President Clinton referred to as "the scariest place on earth" - the DMZ. |  Getting schooled by King SejongWe also went to relevant TKD sites such as the Dan Gun Shrine, Do San Memorial, Chung Geun Memorial, Choong Mu Memorial, King Munmu Underwater Tomb & King Sejong Memorial. We had previously not been to these places with Master Kim but thought our students would appreciate the context. |  Bulguksa TempleWe visited beautiful temples and UNESCO Heritage locations. |
 NoraebangAnd not so serious places like noraebang (karaoke). |  BossamWe ate all the good food |  Sunmudo at Golgulsa TempleWe did an overnight side trip to Gyeongju which was the capital during the Shilla dynasty and practiced with the monks there. |
 Who's in?This is the Cliff Notes version and you'll have to come see the rest for yourself. The 2020 trip is sold out but we are taking a waitlist. If there is continued interest we can make a 2021 TKD Korea trip happen... |
