back. " -Unknown

I have Instructed at many schools and owned 5. I have instructed for
approximately 9 years now and have been in Tae Kwon Do since I was 5.
I have a very low tollerance for students who decided to go to other
schools to do so called trainning. I had a 7 year old boy at my
Clinton school leave about 4 months ago to go to his Dads friends
school down the street. I was very upset. And I had to let him know
about the Loyalty factor. My feeling is this. If you go to another
school you need to stay there. I told the young mans dad that Tae Kwon
Do is a very loyal and traditional art and I follow it to a T. He
asked what if they didnt like it there. I told him that he already
made his dicision. I hope I am getting my point accross. We have a far
superior school in Clinton and it is a rediculous thought to go to
another school, however I know there will be some that do it, and
those people will not unfortunately be let back into our school. I say
our because it isnt mine it is the students and those that leave not
only discrace me but also all of you. Just remember, Honor, Loyalty.

Students, Friends and Instructors. We all share in the joy of being in
the art of Tae Kwon Do. Its rich history and elgant style is unmatched
in many ways. I have seen many other schools who seem to think they
train hard. Well I belive that the heart and soul of our school
resides within our school. Our school is great for this and will
always be the superior school in Clinton and our growing schools in
Davenport and Bettendorf. To all of the students. Good luck keep your
kicks high and Pilsung.

Look forward to our upcoming Tournament the Battle of the River City
2005 at the Cinton YMCA. The tournament will be October 29th.
