This page is first of all to thank the Chief Master Taejoon Lee for his efforts to make so great the entire event with his presence and teachings. Because of this some pictures and sentences from the Chief Master for the benefit of everybody that are visiting this web-page:

Two things you cannot control: love and death!

You're Instructors so leaders: lead by example!

No excuses: the reason you are afraid to do something
is exactly the reason why you should do it!

"More" doesn't necessarily mean "better"!

You must enjoy the journey, not the destination!

Wae Yu Nae Kang (Soft Outside - Hard Inside)

We're warriors: we must be unafraid to battle.
Warriors walk with death side by side

Always stay hungry but don't work harder, work smarter!
Sharpen the saw and chop the tree!
