Master Choe teaches under the Korean Soo Bahk Do Association. They are affiliated with the World Moo Duk Kwan, but have no ties to the US SBD Fed.

Got it. So is the currriculum most likely nearly identical to what i do here in the states, then?

hahaha, not even close. The Korean SBD Association doesn't play by the same rules. Without the direct oversight of KJN HC Hwang, they don't have the same level of requirement. You are also dealing with a lot of political issues there. Many of the masters have lower Dan Bons than the KJN.

They teach the same basic stuff, same forms, they teach Ill Soo Sik and Ho Sin Sul, but a different set, the same basics, etc. There are some minor differences though....I basically had to relearn most of my forms when I got back, just because of the minor differences. I have also had to learn the US Ill Soo Sik and Ho Sin Sul sets, I'm basically caught up now, it has taken about 6 months to get up to where I should be for my rank. The order that things are taught is a bit different as well.

They do share the US's Dan Bon system and ranking system though, so if you earn a rank in the KSBDA, it is very easy to transfer to the US....in fact, if you earn rank in the US, you are automatically enrolled in the KSBDA.
