Newsletter No. 83 Summer/Fall 2014

July 18-20, 2014 proved to be a historic weekend. Our 15th world championship was held in Greensboro, NC. Over 1500 competitors arrived in Greensboro from all over the U.S. and South America, as well as

Europe, the Caribbean and Africa. Competitors greeted each other excitedly in anticipation of the weekend’s events. Each championship provides memories that will last a lifetime and this year was no exception, providing two major highlights, the dedication of the meditation garden at world headquarters and the promotion of Master William Strong to Pal Dan (8th Dan) Grandmaster. Grandmaster Strong has over 50 years of martial arts training. He has a Ph.D. in geography and was the Chair of the Department of Geography at The University of North Alabama, Florence, AL. Though now retired, he accumulated many academic achievements throughout his career. He traveled the world while working for the National Geographic Society in Washington, DC. He has authored chapters in Kwan Chang Nim Shin’s books and was the chair of the WTSDA Technical Advisory Committee

for several years. Grandmaster

Strong has been the host and

director of the annual Master’s Clinic for 22 years. One of his Theses was titled: Perspectives on the Tao of Tang Soo Do. His research was to seek understanding of the major concept of Tang Soo Do, becoming one with nature. The historic weekend began Friday afternoon with the always exciting creativity competition. To the delight of the crowd, fifteen demo teams performed. At the conclusion of the Creativity competition things really began to heat up with the Black Belt divisions. Hyung, weapons and sparring divisions provided excitement into the evening. Pride, respect, humility highlight these events as competitors cheer for each other and offer encouragement and congratulations. At the conclusion of Friday’s events, the masters remained late into the night preparing for their traditional master’s demonstration during the opening ceremonies on Saturday morning. Many areas of Tang Soo Do training including hyung, self defense, weapons, and breaking were featured throughout the demonstration. The master’s promotion portion of the opening ceremonies is always eagerly anticipated. This year seven masters were promoted to the rank of Chil Dan, seven to the rank of Yuk Dan, and fourteen promoted to the rank of Oh Dan. The highlight of the ceremony was the promotion of Master William Strong to Pal Dan, Grandmaster. With all the masters lined up on the competition floor, a hush fell across the room as Master Strong, his family beside him, took center stage for the promotion ceremony. Grandmaster Robert Beaudoin performed the ceremony by presenting Master Strong with his Pal Dan plaque, belt and finally the oath with the master’s sword. Grandmaster Strong then recited his own oath of loyalty and dedication to the World Tang Soo Do Association. The promotion was symbolically finalized with 8 beats of the drum. It was an honor to be a part of this historic ceremony. Congratulations Grandmaster Strong! A true martial artist and a real gentleman.

IN LOVING MEMORY OF JAE CHUL SHIN

The weather cooperated with the memorial service held for our beloved Grandmaster Shin on July 7, 2013 in Burlington, NC. A group of a little less than one hundred gathered at the

World Headquarters for a last goodbye to Grandmaster Shin, and to lay his ashes to rest at the Meditation Garden there. The day started out overcast and threatening, and then the sun came out for the ceremony. According to ancient Korean custom, the spirit of the dragon then expressed itself in the form of thunder, lightning, and heavy rain to cumulate the event. The memorial began about 4:00 p.m. WTSDA family and members from Mr. and Mrs. Shin’s North Carolina church began arriving. All were greeted by the Shin family and were welcomed to stroll down memory lane, and to view a collage of photos of Grandmaster Shin from years gone by. A background of hymns was provided by a cellist and a violinist. The Reverend Sung Tae Lee began the service with hymns, and then gave a short sermon on Grandmaster Shin’s life well lived, and on the importance of understanding that there is a hope of a life after we leave this world. The congregation moved to the Meditation Grove, under a sunny sky for the internment of Grandmaster Shin’s ashes. Friends and family were then invited to enjoy a meal, fellowship and to reminisce and share stories about times spent with our fallen leader. The storm hit just as we were leaving the restaurant saying our good-byes to one another. This old Black Belt had many mixed feelings to ponder that evening. There was a part of me that was extremely sad because of our loss, but I also felt a deep comfort knowing that our Grandmaster’s ashes were now a permanent part of the place where his ultimate dream was realized. To know that when warriors from around the world come to WTSDA headquarters for training, Championships, or just to visit; each may spend time to sit in his garden and to meditate about the legend of Jae Chul Shin.

It is nice to see their confidence grow as they master these skills.

2014 REGION 7 TRAINING DAYThanks to all the hard work of Mr. & Mrs. Causby, this year’s

Region 7 Training Clinic was a great success. Hosting this event is no small feat and this year went very well! This year was the first time family members were allowed to participate in seminars while their martial artists were active in their training. Ki Gong, Health & Fitness, Core & Cardio, Women’s Self Defense were just some of the training seminars open to family members. Ms. Nancy Miller & Ms. Judy Mayfield of Palmetto Panthers Martial Arts and Mrs. Rachel Mann of Scota Karate Academy II kept the tiny warriors busy with lessons on Stranger Danger, Anti-Bully, Balance and Coordination. Our Tang Soo Do members had training in ground defense, kickboxing, jumping kicks, rolls & falls, Savate kickboxing and so many more goodies to choose from! Some of our very own Masters stepped in to train us in Health & Fitness, Ki Gong

& Kubaton. Region 7 would like to thank all the seminar instructors who traveled to share their knowledge and skills. A special thank you goes to Capitol Tang Soo Do and Common Wealth Tang Soo Do for their long distance commute. That is true dedication to our Region and the brotherhood of Tang Soo Do! Thank you to our security members, Ms. Stevens and Mr. Patterson for keeping us all safe and on time. The studios of Region 7 appreciate the time and energy that the parents put into their family member’s training and hope that everyone who participated in this year’s event had a fun time. We are all looking forward to the Region 7 Training Clinic for 2015!

This letter was written by Mark H. Smith, a teacher and coach for the past 23 years.

I was asked to provide some insight on the program known as Tang Soo Do. This class is offered at the European Fitness Center in Reno, Nevada, and is open to all students wanting to learn Karate. It gives me great joy as I watch the students learn to move and execute karate moves. This program provides the students with the opportunity to improve their physical fitness. It also provides the students with the natural joy of learning to move and control their bodies. It is nice to see their confidence grow as they master these skills. The obvious fitness related improvement for the students are increased. Flexibility, coordination, balance, and strength. The students become more aware of their bodies and how it moves in space. This allows the students to learn how to control their bodies and execute class skills. It is fun to watch the learning of the students in class. The students enjoy working in a fast paced and positive environment. This valuable class provides an opportunity for students to improve their physical skills and enhance their emotional

development. The students learn not only to control their bodies, but their emotions as well. This is made possible by the mastery and successful experiences found in the class. The students find a sense of joy and confidence that I believe will translate into the classroom and life experiences.

A COACH’S PERSPECTIVE


Once again Region Eight held its fall Championship at the Split Rock Lodge in the Poconos. There was a healthy turnout of about 700 competitors this year.

Friday, October 25th: The evening got kicked off at 6:00 P.M. with the Creativity competition. Seven teams vied for the gold with Castellis’ Shin Karate taking top prize. The sacred ceremony of the masters’ promotion followed Creativity. The evening finished up with the adult Black Belt divisions competition. Saturday, October 26th: Opening ceremonies took place at 9:00 A.M. The crowd was treated by Castellis’ team performing their winning routine followed by Master Fisher’s group of newly promoted Black Belts doing an impressive demonstration of their skills. After their performance, each new Black Belt, or newly promoted Black Belt came forward to receive their Black Belt or to receive a stripe from their instructor and congratulations from Grandmaster Beaudoin. As always, it was a joyous experience with more than a few trying to hold back tears of joy (me included).

Youth Dan divisions, Tiny Tots & Special Needs, and the Youth & Adult Gup divisions were executed with the precision and professionalism that has come to be expected from the region’s WTSDA certified judges. The day concluded with the award ceremonies for the Cup winners and the specially recognized Studio of the Year, Student of The Year, and Instructor of The Year for 2013. Also, the traditional Round Table Award was presented to Mr. Donald Weinburg for his outstanding work of soliciting donations for the Region’s Scholarship fund, given to deserving college students of Region 8. The Championship was a grand success; do in great part to the organizational skills of Mrs. Peterman and her team, the set-up crew of Master Richerdson, and to the exceptional supervision of Master Frank Fattori, our regional director. The entire region gives its thanks and appreciation to Grandmaster Beaudoin for his leadership and support of our yearly event.

REGION 8 CHAMPIONSHIP AT SPLIT ROCK


July 20, 2014 was a day of celebration at our World Headquarters in Burlington, North Carolina. By mid morning, people were arriving in preparation for the dedication ceremony of the

Meditation Garden and the unveiling of a bronze statue of our founder, Grandmaster Jae C. Shin. Approximately one thousand members, families and friends of The World Tang Soo Do Association were present. Master of Ceremonies for the event was Master Mitchell Dunn. A brief explanation of the Garden was given by Master Jim Mars. Behind the scenes history of our Memorial Garden. Grandmaster Shin and Mr. Jason Whitcraft first discussed the garden about three years ago. Master Mark Taylor, the architect of the garden, reviewed the initial design work of Grandmaster Shin and Mr. Whitcraft. He started to incorporate those ideas with other ideas that Grandmaster Shin had. Master Taylor’s architectural renderings were the guide for the making of the Memorial Garden. Ms. Cathy Chandler, landscape and design contractor was hired to develop the garden based upon Master Taylor’s designs. She translated the architectural rendering and created the garden that we see today. The Headquarters’ Garden is truly an oasis where peace and harmony will be cultivated. Cathy employed Rob Walpole to build the entrance gate, um/yang circle, pagoda, and bridge. Michael Mann laid the stonework that formed the flag, labyrinth and walkway. Grandmaster’s Wishes It was Grandmaster Shin’s wish to be buried at Headquarters. During phase I of the garden, arrangements were made to bury his ashes in the garden. July of 2013 his ashes and a beautiful granite monument were placed in the garden.

The Garden Passing through the gates guarded by the lion statues you will see the bronze statue of Grandmaster Shin to your left. As you walk further into the garden you will notice

the Korean Flag which was created with stone. A Pagoda was built in the center of the flag. Inside the Pagoda is the hand-painted Um/Yang circle of the Korean Flag. The Pagoda is a place to sit and meditate. From the flag a pathway leads to the Bridge. Cross the Bridge and you prepare to enter the Labyrinth. Grandmaster Shin wanted a labyrinth to be incorporated into the garden. Catherine Shin, daughter of Grandmaster Shin, told Master Mars that Grandmaster Shin had a favorite labyrinth design. His fondness for this particular labyrinth stemmed from his stay at a hospital in Delaware. Catherine went to the hospital where she took photos and measurements of Grandmasters favorite labyrinth. We replicated this labyrinth design in the

Memorial Garden. Ten years ago Mr. Thi Ho donated the two lions and two beautifully carved lanterns to the WTSDA. They were destined to be use when the new Headquarters was built. The lions were installed at the entrance of the garden. The beautifully carved lanterns stand within the garden. Grandmaster Shin wanted a statue of himself on the grounds of the

World Headquarters. A bronze statue was sculpted by Ms. Cathy Hopkins. A famous photo of Grandmaster Shin in front of the Shaolin Temple, Henan Province, China was the model used for the design.

Entering the Garden Our Grandmasters and Chil Dan Masters entered the garden. Grandmaster Beaudoin said a few words about this momentous occasion. Grandmaster Beaudoin and Grandmaster Strong unveiled the statue. Upon first seeing the statue, I felt quiet inside. Memories of Grandmaster Shin flooded into my mind. Perhaps you will sense his presence when you visit the garden. His statue stands looking out over the garden and labyrinth. Grandmaster Beaudoin talked about the statue. He reminisced about his long time friend and teacher, Grandmaster Shin. Robert Shin, son of Grandmaster Shin, spoke about his Dad. Stories that we loved hearing.

DEDICATION OF THE MEDITATION GARDEN


Stories that brought tears to our eyes. The Grandmasters, the Shin family, and the Chil Dan Masters walked through the garden, over the bridge and through the labyrinth in silence. The Pagoda was the central meeting place after exiting the labyrinth. The perfect place to talk and take photos that will help us remember the day. We all watched and waited patiently for our turn to enter the garden. Being in the garden is a memorable experience. I invite you to visit and create your own memories. It was a wonderful day. A day when our Tang Soo Do Family came together to honor the memory of our founder, Grandmaster Jae C. Shin. A time and place to honor the dreams of the past and to embrace the dreams of the future.

A special thank you and our deepest appreciation to the many creative people who helped to make this garden possible. Thank you to Mr. Jason Whitcraft, Master Mark Taylor, Ms. Cathy Chandler, Mr. Eugene Peterson and Mr. Andrew Long. A special thank you to Ms. Cathy Hopkins for her outstanding sculpture of Grandmaster Shin’s bronze statue.

MYSTERY SOLVED!

This past year a twenty-one year mystery was solved while I was at the Master’s Camp in March. The day was Saturday, March 23, 2013. Master Mars and I are standing in the gym of the University of

North Alabama waiting for the afternoon training sessions to begin. We had just been informed that we were to be present for testing later in the evening. After some discussion between the two of us, I began to reflect on my very first experience testing for my first degree black belt. It was a day I never forgot because of the events that took place during that test so long ago. My memory of that day is very clear. My test for Cho Dan took place in early May 1992 at the Holiday Inn in Philadelphia, PA. The day was filled with anticipation as the candidates from around Region 8 gathered for the test. I recall that it was one of the biggest tests in the region with a little over two hundred candidates testing for the rank of Cho Dan all the way up to Sam Dan. There were two testing panels set up for the day in the ballroom that had hardwood floors. The black belts testing for higher rank tested first. That began a long day for all of us. After what seemed like forever, the black belt test concluded and now it was time for the blue belts to take our test. The test progressed very well as we completed each part of the requirements. After a while we came to the self-defense portion of the testing. We were instructed to pick the person next to us in the line. I naturally turned to my right and found myself staring into the chest of the person next to me. I looked up to see who this mountain of a man was and at that very moment I thought in my head, “On my God, I’m dead!” I did not know who this person was nor had I ever met him before. I don’t even remember if we exchanged names with each other. I put my fear out of my head and we began. Everything was going great until we had to do the knife defense. We were instructed to reach from behind the person’s back with a knife held at their throat. Here I was, standing on my toes trying to get the knife around this guy’s throat. He was at least eight inches taller than me. Then I heard this booming voice coming from my partner. He says to me, “Do you know how to fall?” to which I replied “yes!” His next words have stuck in my mind for the last twenty-one years. He then said, “Okay I am going to throw you over my right shoulder real easy, are you ready?” I said “yes” and the next thing I knew I was flying through the air and hit the floor with a great deal of force. Bam! Lights out! I do not know what happened at that point. All I remember is opening my eyes after hitting the floor and seeing bright lights. People were hovering over me and asking me if I was okay. The first words out of my mouth were, “Am I dead?” This of course brought about some laughter from those who were trying to help me. As it turned out I was okay, hurting, but okay. The big guy came over and told me he was sorry and wanted to know if I was okay. I assured him I was and we went on from there. The

test ended and I never saw the big giant again. Fast forward to Saturday at the Master’s camp where I was finishing up with my reflections of the test twenty-one years ago. Someone walks by me and for some reason the voice sounded vaguely familiar. I know him from the Master’s camp and he is a friend. But something different stuck in my mind about his voice on this particular day. It was Master Scott Merrill. I instantly followed him over to where he was standing and politely asked, “Master Merrill, when did you take your test for Cho Dan?” He said, “May 1992.” I follow up with an additional question, “Was it in Philadelphia, PA, near the stadium?” Master Merrill responds, “Why yes it was, I remember that day very well. I got chewed out three times that day. The second time was for throwing some guy to the floor during the self-defense and knocking him out. Why do you ask?” I have to say that during the twenty-one years of

remembering this incident in my life, I have often thought that I would like to run into that big son-of-a-gun again sometime. Here he was standing in front of me and I laughed out loud telling him that I was the guy he threw to the floor twenty-one years ago. He gave me a big bear hug and we began to laugh, talking about that day with each other and with anyone else who was within earshot of our conversation. I have come to know Master Merrill more closely since I first met him in 2005 when he came to the Master’s camp. We have had the good fortune to work on the world championship together in 2010. We have been friends all

the while not knowing the connection we had to each other. It is a connection that began twenty-one years ago on a May afternoon during our first degree black belt test. Wow! That made my whole day and weekend! It was the highlight of my trip to the Master’s camp. We continued to see each other for the balance of the weekend. As fate would have it, on Saturday night during the testing, we were asked to reach around from behind our partner and put a knife to their throat. I thought, Oh no, not again and I looked around for Master Merrill. This is only the second time in all of my testing experiences that I have been asked to demonstrate this self-defense technique. The next day when I saw Master Merrill I told him about having to do that technique again and we both laughed. You never forget your first test for black belt. Throughout the last twenty-one years I have had a mystery in my head that I could not solve until this past March. It goes to show that the connections and relationships you make in the World Tang Soo Do Association will last a lifetime. You never know when you are going to come across someone with whom you tested with in in the past. Thank you Master Merrill. Mystery solved!

Region 2 held their bi-annual Dan test Friday, September 27, 2013 in Gilbert, Arizona at the LifeTime Fitness Center. The Region 2 Tournament was held the next day. Over 150 practitioners

attended the annual event. We had 19 total candidates test on Friday and we were privileged to have Grandmaster Beaudoin in attendance, as well. The Dan Test started with the written exam followed by the physical test. After warm up exercises we started off with basic hand techniques followed by basic foot techniques and combination techniques. The group then moved onto the hyungs before moving onto the weapon hyungs. It was a great experience to be performing with this group as we moved forward through the hyungs as energy was shared with those testing. The group then paired up for Il Soo Sik Dae Ryun and Sam Soo Sik Dae Ryun (one step and three step sparring). We started working up to number 30 in hands and feet after which we transitioned to Hol Sin Sol (self defense). We then separated into several smaller groups to demonstrate the ability to defend against diverse attacks, and for the higher ranks multiple opponents. On went the protective gear in preparation for sparring one-on-one, and two-on-one for the higher ranks. Next it was time to demonstrate proper falls and rolls. All were able to successfully navigate the mats. Many thanks are given to those assisting in keeping the mats in place. Kyuck Pa (breaking) was the next event of the test. Some very fine techniques and showmanship were displayed. The final event, In neh, showed we still were able to keep going as the endurance portion tapped our last reserves. The support from our brothers and sisters in the association as well as other family members watching was felt throughout the test with their cheers and clapping helping to keep the energy going. Thank you to all who were able to attend and cheer us on throughout the evening. Thank you for helping us succeed. The Masters took the time to give us their impressions of the test, and then family members in attendance were allowed a few minutes to express their appreciation for those testing. We then were able to relax a little as it was time to capture the experience through photographs – with a very great

accomplishment and goal achieved for all in attendance. The Tournament started early the next day with the 17-34 year old male, Sam Dan division, after which several rings were set up for the remaining Dan divisions. There were some very nice close matches showing fantastic skills with excellent techniques. We finished up the black belt divisions and opened the Tournament at 11:30 AM, bowing in and presenting several awards including presenting four new black belts the rank of Cho Dan. Grandmaster Beaudoin presented the belts to the new Dans. It was especially nice to have Grandmaster Beaudoin in attendance with us. He was able to visit with many members and their families as they came for autographs and photographs with him. After the return of last years Championship cups, events kicked off with the Demo Team presentations. Four teams performed for the packed arena. Starworld Goodyear brought home the first place trophy. Starworld AMAF received the second place trophy. Red Rock Martial Arts earned the third place trophy, and Thunderbolt TSD Academy took the co-third trophy. All performed exceptionally well with great skill and showmanship. The floor was immediately cleared and the Gup rings set up. The rings moved from weapon forms for brown belt and higher to open hand hyungs (forms) and finishing off with single elimination sparring. The Tiny Tiger and Li’l Dragons were fantastic in their forms and sparring (belt game); all of them received a medal. A feeling of brotherhood was felt throughout the day. Many remarkable achievements were reached. Competitors demonstrated proficiency and dedication in forms and sparring. Once the rings were taken down and everyone had lined back up the results of the Black Belt divisions were announced and the Championship Cups presented. A dinner, magic show, and dance were held at the host hotel that night providing an enjoyable finale before we all headed back home. It was a very successful fun event for all.

MASTER PROMOTIONS & DEMONSTRATION

MEDITATION GARDEN & ANNIVERSARY DINNER


Master Michael White, in the privacy of his home and attended by his immediate family, recently passed away after an extended illness. Master White was 68 years old.

I first met Master White October 29th, 1970. I was fresh out of Vietnam and he was a new Black Belt fresh from Philadelphia. I had my first lesson that same evening. I became a Black Belt in 1974 and served as the Chief Instructor under the Appalachia TSD dojang certificate. From our combined efforts, there were 7 Black Belts produced who all started teaching in the Central Pennsylvania area. For a period in the beginning, Appalachia was the largest dojang in our Association. Over time, our philosophies began drifting further apart, and in 1984 I left Central PA and moved to the Philadelphia area and opened my own studio where I continue to teach today. Master White was a Charter Member of the Association and a founding father. Master White grew up in Central Philadelphia. Master White was educated at a strict Catholic school where the monks handed out harsh discipline. He met Grandmaster Shin in 1968 at the Burlington dojang, and continued as Grandmaster Shin’s student for the rest of his life, serving on the Executive Committee as Treasurer of the Association. Training under Master White was an interesting proposition. For about five years, I was the only student that stuck with his unique style of instruction, which included having most lessons conducted outside, and held in all kinds of weather. I can remember training in deep snow, with sub freezing temperature, running in bare feet for about a half mile, stop for a sparring session until you could not feel your feet, and then running back to his home to stand in a bath tub to thaw out. What fun!

I witnessed the close relationship Master White had developed with Grandmaster Shin. Over many years, Master White’s Black Belts have consistently served the WTSDA in many key positions. From its humble beginnings, Tang Soo Do in Central PA has grown to a powerhouse consisting of great Masters and many great Black Belts. Master White was always reaching out to the underdog, helping where he could. He taught passionately to observe and maintain the etiquette and protocol of our traditional martial art. He was one of the most talented fighters I have ever met. He had perfected his favorite technique, jump spinning back kick, to the point where once he had set it up, it was nearly impossible to defend against. Master White will be missed by his many students, and will be remembered as a pillar and one of the key Masters of the World Tang Soo Do Association. A more defined profile of Master White can be found in “The Legacy, A History of the WTSDA,” available from WTSDA Headquarters.

WTSD Foundation NEWS WTSD Foundation NEWSThird Time’s The Charm

For the third year in a row, the students of Mimidis Karate hosted a St. Baldrick’s event to raise funds for childhood cancer research. Worldwide over 175,000 children

and young adults are diagnosed with cancer each year. That is equivalent to one child every 3 minutes. The St. Baldrick’s Foundation funds some of the most promising research to find improved cancer treatments with fewer adverse effects, make drug trials more accessible, and above all, find a cure for childhood cancers. The majority of the St. Baldrick’s fund raising events, such as the one held at Mimidis Karate on May 4, 2013, are head shaving events. Individuals, referred to as “Shavees”, volunteer to have their heads shaved to raise funds. Each “shavee” collects donations from friends, family members, co-workers, etc. The shavees not only have their heads shaved to raise funds, but also to show solidarity to the children who lose their hair during their cancer treatments. Individuals who wish to help out and raise funds but chose not to shave their heads are designated as volunteers. They collect donations in the same manner as the shavees but leave their locks unscathed. As part of our St. Baldrick’s event we invite special guests to join us and speak about childhood cancer. I met one of our guests while purchasing a gift certificate for a wedding gift. The attendant at the store, Stacie Ritter, noticed my St. Baldrick’s t-shirt from our 2012 event and asked if I shaved for an event. I told her about the Mimidis Karate event and that I was one of the shavees. She responded by saying “Well then I need to thank you”. Stacie proceeded to tell me about her twin daughters. At

age 4 both Hannah and Madeline were diagnosed with Myelodysplastic Syndrome, previously known as pre-leukemia. This is a blood disorder in which the person’s bone marrow produces poorly formed or dysfunctional blood cells. The twins received Stem Cell transplants at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia. This is a procedure where the patient receives high doses of chemotherapy and/or total body irradiation to kill the cells in the bone marrow. The patient then receives new healthy blood forming stem cells. The twins are now 15 years old and active young teenagers. Stacie, Hannah and Madeline were kind enough to join us on event day and to share their story. Hannah and Madeline took the ceremonial first swipes with the razor on my head to begin the head shaving portion of our event.

Our other guests were Sydney and her parents Pete and Celeste Bush. This is our third year honoring Sydney at our event. She was diagnosed with a brain tumor at age 2 which required surgery and 7 weeks of radiation therapy. One and a half years later the tumor

returned requiring a second surgery, this time with a device called a gamma knife. Sydney is now 10 years old and enjoys cheer leading and sports. I recently received good news from Sydney’s mom. Sydney had her yearly MRI at Hershey Medical Center and it was “clean”. Sydney is officially 6 years cancer free. You may have heard the saying “Third time’s the charm”. Well it certainly held true for us. Our first event was held in 2011 with a fund raising goal of

$5,000. That year we raised $8,249. In 2012 we raised the bar and set our fund raising goal at $8,000. We raised $8,368. We set our 2013 event goal at $8,000 knowing that the present economical climate might provide challenges to reaching or exceeding our goal. We could not have been more surprised or elated after all donations were totaled. We raised $11,350. The funds were raised through the efforts of many people within our studio but also from individuals and studios within the WTSDA, and individuals from our community. We had a total of 25 registered volunteers, 19 of which were designated as shavees. Many members of our studio also showed up on event day to cheer us on and assist as needed. There were 7 women who braved the shave at our event. Two of the women had very long hair and our barbers were able to collect the hair into a pony tail

before cutting. The ladies planned to donate their hair to Locks of Love. This way they supported two charities at the same time. Pal Che Tang Soo Do held a Kick/Break – A –Thon and donated half of the proceeds, totaling $328 to our event and half to the WTSDF Scholarship Fund. The students of Bethlehem Martial Arts Academy took up a collection and donated $100 to our event. We are very grateful to the generosity of Pal Che Tang Soo Do, Bethlehem Martial Arts Academy, and all who donated to our event. Together we have helped the St. Baldrick’s Foundation to fund the research to conquer childhood cancers. To the children affected by cancer and their families, we are their heroes.

Once again the students of Mimidis Karate hosted a St. Baldrick’s event to raise funds for childhood cancer research. The event was held on May 3rd at the karate studio.

We had a total of 30 participants, 19 of which were designated as shavees. As noted in the article “Third Time’s The Charm”, the shavees volunteer to have their heads shaved to raise funds and also to show solidarity to the children who lose their hair during their cancer treatments. To date, this year’s event has raised over $10,000. Mike Decker, newly promoted Cho Dan Bo, holds the lead in fund raising with a total of $1,975. The company he works for, Sherwin Williams, matches donations raised by their employees. Once all of the paperwork is completed our event total could clear $12,000. So, why do we do this year after year? Well, I can’t speak for all of the shavees and volunteers who put so much effort into raising funds and making our event a success. I can only speak for myself. I’ve helped with, and donated to, many fund raising events over the years but this has become my passion. Why? Well, it all starts with my dad. In 2004, 2 days after I tested for Cho Dan, my dad was admitted to the hospital. He was diagnosed with bladder cancer. Several weeks later he began chemotherapy treatments. Between my sister and me, we made sure that one of us was with him during each treatment and surgical procedure that he received. This was tough seeing my dad enduring all of the side effects of the chemotherapy, the pain from the procedures, and the pain from the spreading cancer. But as tough as it was for him, he never lost his kindness to others or his sense of humor. As tough as it was for me to see him go through this I would not have given up a minute of the time that I spent with him. In October of 2005, one day before our Region 8 championship, my father’s oncologist informed us that further chemotherapy would not be effective. Though he bravely fought a hard battle, my father died several weeks later. After my father’s death, I had a restless sensation

within me. I felt that I needed to do something but I wasn’t sure what. Then I heard about St. Baldrick’s through a co-worker. He is a volunteer fire fighter and his fire company had formed a team and participated in a St. Baldrick’s event held in York County, PA. A spark was ignited within me. I thought about the idea of joining an event and shaving my head but I just wasn’t sure if I could do it. The more I thought about it the more that restless sensation within me fanned that spark. Suddenly it came to me. As hard as it was to see my dad go

through his cancer treatments, I can’t even imagine what it would be like to be the parent of a child dealing with cancer. I realized that though I couldn’t fight my dad’s battle, I can surely help children fight and win their battles. I learned that St. Baldrick’s funds the most promising research to find cures for childhood cancers and the majority of funds raised are through head shaving events. Then another thought entered my mind. I have a choice to lose my hair, children going through cancer treatments don’t. If enduring

strange looks and a chilly head means a cure can be found and children’s lives can be saved, then that is what I will do. That spark turned into a flame as I registered for my first St. Baldrick’s event as a shavee in 2009. The following year the York Co. event was not held. I wanted to continue participating in St. Baldrick’s events but found it difficult to find a local event that I could attend. Rather than letting that flame die out I decided on a different tactic. I asked Master Mimidis for permission to hold a St. Baldrick’s event at our studio. He graciously agreed. In 2011 I became the Volunteer Event Organizer and one of the shavees for the Mimidis Karate St. Baldrick’s event. Each year as we prepare for our event and raise funds to help conquer childhood cancers, I think of my dad. I work hard to do my part to make our event successful so that children with cancer can be cured and to honor my dad.

JOIN OUR $1,000 DONOR’S CLUB!In January of 2005, the WTSDF Construction Committee began selling 1000 pillars. So far we have 339 pillars sold and 661 left to sell. Market trends for purchasing and building new properties has risen astronomically over the past few years and our original budget for construction, which was set in 1993, does not match the reality of actual costs in 2014. In order to accelerate our fund raising, we established the $1,000 Donors Club. Anyone who wishes to join this effort should contact Headquarters or their local Building Fund Chair Person for the pledge form.

Those who wish to purchase a pillar may pay in installments. If anyone has already donated a significant amount less than $1,000 and would like that money applied towards a pillar, contact Headquarters with your donor #’s and dates and it can be applied to the pledge form. Keep in mind that the pillars are for individual contributions, not regional or studio contributions. We appreciate all of those who have joined in our efforts to date and will commemorate them with pillars in the new building.
