Hi Matt, congratulations.
Do you do all three arts in the same school? I'm pretty sure you do TKD and HKD at the same place (with your dad, right?), but what about Judo?
Merry xmas to you too.
zDom trains in Cape under my dad, TKD is there as well. Dad only teaches hapkido. I began obviously under my father, however I have continued in St. L under the Tuetledge of GM Hildebrand. He is 7th dan TKD and 5th dan in hapkido. Anyway, as with Yudo/Judo I began with Moo Sul Kwan and finished with the Marines. However, I feel it my duty to help rebuild Yudo/Judo in Moo Sul Kwan. That art has the fewest numbers and was as zDom says, "GGM Park always said 'Judo is best art for kids'."
So I did the written test and wrote a paper on Yudo and it's signifigance within the realm of Hapkido, Aikido and it's benefits within Tae Kwon Do cross Training. That is how I got my 2nd Dan, (By contribution to Yudo/Judo and it's continuing growth.)
I have been in touch with 4 judo clubs in the St. L area.....since I know them anyway.....well long story short, they will bring students down to my class on occassion for mini tournaments and vice versa.
Just good friendly competition.
Not only that but Dr. Dan Beard Teaching Yudo at the University in Cape along with Erin Reiley and Doug Johnson. So in a round about way, yes Judo is also taught in Cape as well, just not at the main building.
